Although Prince George is the future King of England, he is treated just like any other student at school, facing the same joys and challenges of school life. In addition to studying traditional subjects like Math, Science, and English, the Prince also takes part in outdoor activities, such as litter picking, aiming to instill in students a sense of responsibility for the environment. This has sparked a passion in George, but it has also led to moments of frustration.
Recently, on a podcast, Prince William shared how George became “confused and annoyed” after a litter-picking session with his friends. William explained that George felt disappointed when he found that the path they had cleaned up the day before was once again filled with litter only 24 hours later. “He couldn’t understand why their efforts didn’t seem to last,” William said, “George was puzzled and wondered why the litter just kept coming back.”
Beyond his commitment to nature, George also faces academic pressures like any other student. The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, once shared that George feels frustrated with the continuous tests at school, often telling her, “Mummy, I’m always being tested!” These relatable moments show that, while he may be royalty, George is growing up with challenges just like his peers, making him a more down-to-earth figure in the public eye.
However, as George grows older, his academic future has become a hot topic, especially regarding his choice of secondary school. William and Kate have differing opinions on this decision: William leans towards Eaton College, where he and Prince Harry studied. In contrast, Kate is uneasy about an all-boys environment, partly due to her own challenging experiences at her first boarding school. Kate hopes for an inclusive and balanced educational environment for her son, aligning with their efforts to modernize the monarchy.
Nevertheless, reports suggest that William may have persuaded Kate to allow George to attend Eaton. If this decision is confirmed, it will mark a new chapter for the young Prince and set a path that balances royal tradition with a forward-looking approach.
