Prince George has already mastered the art of making a school uniform look regal.
The eldest son of Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton wore his pristinely tailored outfit in his official portraits for Eton College, consisting of a black tailcoat, pinstriped trousers, a black waistcoat, a white tunic shirt worn with an “arundel collar” fastened to it as well as cufflinks.
George, 13, completed his sharp ensemble with polished black dress shoes.
He gave a megawatt smile to the camera and donned a neatly groomed hairstyle with a side part. George posed for photos alongside a wall, and also with his hands clasped in front of him.
George was joined by his proud parents to be dropped off for his first day of school in Berkshire, England, on Tuesday, September 8. (In addition to George, William and Kate, both 44, share Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.)
On Tuesday, George arrived in a black suit with a blue dress shirt and tie before changing into his school uniform.
George is following in his father’s footsteps, as William attended Eton College from 1995 to 2000 while his younger brother, Prince Harry, studied there from 1998 to 2003.
A source exclusively told Us in 2021 that William and Kate were “open to sending George to boarding school in the future and have already checked out a few, but they feel 8 is a little young and want to wait until he’s slightly older.”
“George going to school is a decision the Cambridges will make as a family,” the insider added. “They’d never force George to go unless he wants to and they feel it’s right.”
At the time, George was open to the idea after hearing his parents’ stories about boarding school, which he thought sounded “super fun.”
George is currently second in line to the British throne. The young royal is well “aware” that he’ll be the king of the U.K. one day, another source told Us in 2020.
