Prince George is nearing the end of his final year at Lambrook School in Berkshire, and attention is growing around his next academic step. The eldest child of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been linked to both Eton College and Marlborough College, though no decision has been announced. Now, a new detail from Prince William has offered a glimpse into how George is already adjusting to school life. During a radio appearance, the Prince spoke casually about his children’s morning routine and, in doing so, confirmed that George had been boarding.

Prince William Shares Update on Heart Radio
While appearing on Heart Radio with Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston, Prince William was invited to send a message to his children during the school run. He responded with a light remark that included a notable detail about his eldest son. "Charlotte and Louis, because George is boarding last night, Charlotte and Louis, if you're listening, make sure you're on time, please, make sure you're not fighting over who listens to what, this morning," said Prince William according to Hello!. The comment offered a rare insight into the family’s current routine as George prepares for his move to secondary education.
Lambrook Offers Flexible Boarding for Pupils
George currently attends Lambrook, a Berkshire school for children aged 7 to 13. The school offers flexible boarding arrangements, allowing pupils to stay for anything from occasional nights to most of the school week. There are separate boarding houses for boys and girls, each supported by house parents and tutors. That setup may be helping George build confidence before his next move. It also suggests that the Wales family has chosen a gradual approach, giving him experience of boarding life before he begins at a senior school.
Eton and Marlborough Stay in the Frame
The next destination remains one of the most discussed questions around the young royal. Eton College has long been seen as a strong possibility, especially given Prince William’s own education there. Marlborough College is also part of the conversation, with Catherine having studied at the Wiltshire school. Both options would fit different parts of the family’s background. For now, the household has kept its plans private, and that silence has only added to interest in where George will continue his studies after leaving Lambrook.
School Decision May Still Be Open
A further clue came from education expert Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of The Good Schools Guide. Speaking on Hello Magazine's Right Royal Podcast, she suggested the family may not have settled on one choice yet. "I feel as though the Wales' may be holding multiple places at different schools. It sort of feels as though if they had made a definitive decision, somebody would know, and it would be out there," Melanie Sanderson told Hello Magazine. She added that standard school deadlines may not apply in the same way for a royal household, leaving room for flexibility as George’s future is mapped out.
