Prince George turns 13 and is entering his teenage years as he prepares to begin at Eton College, moving away from home for boarding. This milestone follows his earlier schooling at Lambrook and reflects his parents’ plan to give him more independence while prioritizing privacy and security at a prestigious, Windsor-adjacent school. William and Catherine have signaled a cautious approach to his education and public profile, with discussions about safeguarding and a measured stance on media exposure. George is expected to use a retro brick phone without social media as part of a protective strategy, acknowledging that his peers will have more advanced devices. Royal observers note his growing confidence and the belief that Eton offers a safe, close-to-home environment that supports his transition toward future royal duties, with public appearances such as the Wimbledon final underscoring his developing public role. The family’s emphasis on normalcy and close oversight suggests a gradual, carefully managed step into adolescence for the future King.
