Prince George likely 'feeling nervous' ahead of 'big change' for young royal

Prince George may be dealing with "nerves" as he readies himself for "another big change" in his life next year, a veteran royal expert has suggested.

The 12-year-old future monarch currently attends Lambrook School with his sister and brother, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but will move on to secondary education next year. While the Prince's next school remains unknown, he will leave behind his siblings as he begins "another milestone in his life". Veteran royal commentator Jennie Bond believes the change of scene may be a cause for trepidation for the young Prince.

She told The Mirror: "William and Catherine's baby boy George is rapidly turning into a young man - and this last year at Lambrook School with his siblings will be another milestone in his life.

"I'm sure that he'll feel nervous about the big change ahead, but hopefully some of his school friends will be making the move with him, wherever he is headed," the expert added.

Along with the new setting and split from Charlotte and Louis, Ms Bond also noted that George would have to adjust to a more distant role of his parents in his schooling.

"George has become used to his parents being deeply involved in his school life," she explained.

"As often as possible, it's mum or dad who does the school run, and I'm sure they're fully invested in every aspect of his education.

"That's going to be another big change ahead," Ms Bond told The Mirror.

The royal commentator felt that this upcoming academic year would therefore be an important one for the Waleses. The question of what school George will attend in September 2026 is still officially unanswered.

However, it has been sugested that "all roads lead to Eton". The historic institution is close to the family's Windsor home, and was where Prince William once studied.
