Prince George has been allocated a house at Eton as the decision over his future school appears to have been made.
Nevertheless, Prince William and Princess Kate are believed to have delayed an official announcement due to recent upheaval among the leadership of the prestigious Berkshire boy’s school.
The 12-year-old Prince currently attends Lambrook preparatory school with his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
However, he is due to begin secondary education next and year and it appears set he will follow in his father’s footsteps at Eton.

To that end, it is now understood that George has been assigned to one of Eton’s 25 boarding houses.
Each house is home 50 boys, with 10 assigned from each year to encourage pupils of varying age groups to mix.
Both Princes William and Prince Harry boarded at Manor House during their schooling.
George’s allocation comes despite his parents’ ongoing concerns about the school’s leadership stability and future direction, the Mail on Sunday reports.

Significant disruption at the institution began when headmaster Simon Henderson took an unexplained six-month leave from August to January.
The 49-year-old, was nicknamed “Trendy Hendy” for his reputation of pursuing an “aggressively woke” transformation of the 585-year-old school.
Instability deepened at Eton when Lord William Waldegrave, the school’s Provost and Henderson’s ally, departed unexpectedly after 15 years.
The appointment of Sir Nicholas Coleridge as Provost and return of Henderson is now believed to have provided some comfort to William and Kate.

“Eton has been going through much transition lately so that’s perhaps why it wasn’t an easy decision,” a source explained to the Daily Mail.
“She has been wise to wait and observe for a few more months for things to settle down, which it has thanks to Nicholas Coleridge’s hand on the tiller and Simon Henderson’s return,” they continued.
However, the insider warned the decision may still: “Have its own dilemmas because he’s not everyone’s ideal Eton headmaster.”
In June, it was reported that “all roads lead to Eton” regarding Prince George’s further education.

Sources close to the institution have noted a certain “smugness” emerging from Eton regarding the impending announcement, the Mail reported.
“It was like, ‘I know something and the people at Eton know something, but I’m not going to tell you’. That was after William and Kate visited Eton,” revealed an insider.
While the boy’s school appears to be the choice, the Kate and William had investigated other institutions.
Another front runner was Marlborough College, where the Princess of Wales thrived during her own education.
The co-educational nature of Marlborough would have allowed Princess Charlotte to join her elder brother, presenting a compelling option for keeping the siblings together.
