🎓👑 Ever wondered what it was like going to school with a future king? A former classmate of Prince William spills the beans on life at Eton College with the Prince of Wales!
Back in the late ’90s, despite his royal status, William didn’t stand out as much as one might think. He was a popular figure, but just another kid amongst many from wealthy and aristocratic families. His peers even had a cheeky nickname for him, highlighting the unique mixed heritage of the royal family.
William’s time at the school coincided with some challenging times, including the high-profile divorce of his parents and the tragic passing of his mother, Princess Diana. While the outside world was buzzing with tabloid headlines, at school, students didn’t focus much on his family’s struggles. Instead, they showed their support quietly, embodying that classic British ‘stiff upper lip.’
Now, it’s Prince George’s turn to join the illustrious halls of Eton this September, following in the footsteps of his dad, William, and Uncle Harry. This news comes just after Prince William’s playful radio appearance, where he invited his kids to keep up with the morning school run.
As Prince George embarks on his Eton journey, we’re reminded of the unique experience the school offers and the cherished memories it’s sure to create for the young prince.
