Prince George to begin at Eton as Prince Harry and Meghan return to the UK, prompting expert commentary
The 13‑year‑old heir is scheduled to start at Eton College on September 8, with tuition set at £65,673 per year. A dedicated 24‑member private security team and police officers will protect his daily movements across the town‑based campus, and new signs will prohibit photographing students. A customary photo call is expected to be the only public image of him for the foreseeable future. At the same time, Prince Harry and Meghan have returned to the United Kingdom with their children, and royal commentators have warned that their presence could add media pressure to the already tightly managed start.
