rince William has shared a rare update on Prince George’s school life, offering a small but telling detail about the 12-year-old’s routine. During a live radio appearance from the Isles of Scilly, the Prince of Wales mentioned that his eldest son had spent the previous night boarding at school. The comment came as William sent a message to his children on air while carrying out a royal visit. The moment gave a glimpse into how George may be easing into a more traditional boarding-school path.

Prince William Mentions George’s Night at School
The key line came during William’s chat with Heart Breakfast hosts Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden. "Oh, Charlotte and Louis, because George is boarding last night, so Charlotte, Louis, if you're listening, make sure you're on time, please. Make sure you're not fighting over who's listening to what this morning," said Prince William. The remark was casual, but it stood out. Public comments about the Wales children’s day-to-day school life are uncommon, which is why this one drew attention so quickly.
Lambrook School Offers a Gradual Boarding Start
George currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire with Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8. The school teaches pupils through Year 8, making it a key stage before senior school decisions come into play. Lambrook also offers weekly and flexi-boarding for children aged 7 to 13. That setup allows pupils to stay overnight on a limited basis rather than move straight into full-time boarding. For George, that kind of arrangement appears to be an early step toward greater independence as he gets closer to his teenage years.
Eton College Stays in the Conversation
Talk around George’s future education has long centered on Eton College, where William studied. Interest grew further after George toured the school with his parents in 2023. The boys-only boarding school remains one of the most discussed options for the young royal, especially given its long-standing place in Britain’s elite education system. George is nearing the point when a move beyond Lambrook will be necessary, so every new clue carries extra weight. William’s latest comment has only added to that ongoing discussion.
Marlborough College Is Also Seen as an Option
Another school often mentioned is Marlborough College, the alma mater of Princess Kate. Unlike Eton, Marlborough is co-educational, which has made it a notable possibility in conversations about the family’s future plans. That option could, in theory, keep George on a similar path to Charlotte and Louis later on. For now, there has been no official announcement about where he will go next. Still, this latest detail suggests the family is already helping him adjust to the rhythms of boarding life before a bigger school decision arrives.
