Prince George will one day take the throne after his father, Prince William. For now, however, the 13-year-old is settling into a very different role: student at one of Britain’s most prestigious schools.
Prince George may have only just started at Eton College, but his first official school portraits have already sparked plenty of attention online – and there’s one detail in particular that has caught royal fans’ eyes.
The 13-year-old future king began his time at the prestigious private school on Tuesday, following in the footsteps of both his father, Prince William, and his uncle, Prince Harry.
While royal fans were naturally interested in seeing George in his new school uniform, something about the new images quickly became the focus of the conversation.
His first official school portraits
Kensington Palace shared portraits of George on social media shortly after he arrived at the school. In the pictures, the young prince can be seen smiling, and it didn’t take long for people to start pointing out the detail that had caught their attention.
