Prince George will have a complete say on his future, says an expert.

The young Prince and second in line to the throne, George will get to pick his boarding school and whether or not if he wants to go to Eton college, like with father, Prince William.

Speaking about his upcoming year, Royal expert Jennie Bond told Mirror: "When William was 13, he began his secondary education at Eton College. I remember standing a few yards away from him as he was welcomed by his housemaster, Dr Andrew Gailey – who became an important figure in the young Prince’s life. Both his parents were at his side but, by then, they were officially separated.

"William and his brother had witnessed the painful breakup of the marriage over many years. So, in a way, being at boarding school became a haven for William. Things are very different for George, who has been brought up in a household full of love and harmony.

"So it might be tougher for him to suddenly find himself living away at boarding school – if that is, indeed, the decision his parents have made. But I’m sure it will have been a family decision - and not one simply imposed on the young prince,” she noted.
