Prince George’s new school.

I feel the family had the option to be more progressive

At George’s expense?

Thank goodness lessons were learned after the King was bullied into going to Gordonstoun by his father.

I hope George will be happy at Eton.

But with Harry?

Eton seems to have done a good job with William, so best of luck in September George.

I hope Prince George has a very happy time there. Maybe it was his choice. Perhaps he has good friends who are going there too. From what we see of his parents I should imagine he had a say in going to Eton.

Well at least Charlotte won’t have George to annoy her …. She can have her own space.

I think it’s a good school. My son (who went to a comprehensive) has friends who went to Eton. I just feel a co-educational school would give the monarchy a more up-to-date image,

While I can agree a more up-to-date image is good for the monarchy I could never agree to a child's education and welfare being second in consideration. Maybe George wants to go there, why then should he go elsewhere for the sake of the family 'image'? I hope he'll be very happy at Eton, and I hope he had input into that choice.

I worry about George. He always seems like such a serious little boy, so unlike his younger brother. He often looks as if he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. I guess, when it comes to schools, security has to be a consideration.

I think it's a great choice for George. He is still close to his family as it sits very close to Windsor.
William made good friends at Eton and so will George. I'm sure George expressed a desire to attend Eton as they did investigate other options for him.
As long as George is happy and can still maintain good family days, it makes sense.

I quite fancy Eton for one of my grandsons …. A superb runner, star footballer and very structured engineer in the making. Very sociable and kind and… probably not the best fit for the school come to think of it?

Are you disappointed with every parent who chooses a single sex school for their child? There's a girls single sex school very near me, a high proportion of obviously Muslim girls attend, are their parents a disappointment for not being progressive enough?

William enjoyed Eton, and maybe it was George's choice to attend there. You have no idea what his input was.

I hope he's happy there too GG.

The Prince and Princess of Wales live in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

Elton is very close by, it is also William’s Alma Mater.

I hope he is very happy there.

There's a lot to consider isn't there and I should think William having enjoyed his time there would have been a worthy consideration.

Poor kid. Wouldn't want a child of mine there.
