Prince George arrived on a rainy morning for his first day at Eton College, accompanied by his father and mother, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Prince William and Catherine carried umbrellas as they brought George, wearing a jacket and tie, to be welcomed by the head teacher, Simon Henderson, and provost Sir Nicholas Coleridge.
“Welcome, good luck and enjoy,” said the head teacher, shaking hands with Prince George.
They made small talk about the bad weather before the new pupil, parents and staff disappeared inside the historic school, where 13-year-old George will be a boarder.
George, who had travelled the short journey from his home at Forest Lodge in Windsor, was seen with his parents arriving at Eton’s school yard, overlooked by the school’s Tudor landmark of Lupton’s Tower.
He was later photographed wearing the school’s uniform, with black tailcoat, waistcoat and a stiff white collar.
The future king follows in the footsteps of his father in attending the elite private school, which has taught 20 British prime ministers and where fees are around £65,000 a year.
