    Prince George won't be starting new school this year - despite most others his age going

    While thousands of children are somewhat excited to start secondary school in a few weeks, Prince George is not one of them. The second in line to the throne, who recently turned 11 - the typical age for moving on from primary school - currently attends Lambrook with his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis .

    Despite completing Year 6, he won't be starting Year 7 at a new school this September. The reason is quite simple: his current school caters to students aged 3 to 13, up until Year 8, meaning the Prince has another two years left.

    Nestled near his family's Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage, Lambrook sits on 52 acres of Berkshire countryside and boasts amenities like a golf course, swimming pool, theatre, sports center, and various art studios. The diverse activities range from tap dancing and bagpipe playing to swimming.

    Students are also expected to attend school six days a week, including Saturdays. It remains unknown where George will pursue his secondary education, but one potential option is the Northamptonshire-based Oundle School, touted as one of Britain's top co-educational boarding and day schools.

    Should Prince George decide to attend, it would be a historic moment as he'd become the first male heir to go to a co-ed school. This would be a significant departure from Royal tradition; both his father, Prince William, and grandfather, King Charles, were educated at the elite all-boys Eton College in Berkshire, following in the footsteps of his uncle, Prince Harry, reports the Mirror .

    The potential new school, with a hefty £34,000-a-year fee, has been around since 1556 but prides itself on a contemporary approach.

    Previously, Prince George was a pupil at Thomas's Battersea in London, where he earned the charming nickname 'P. G' from his peers, a playful nod to his title, Prince George.

    As he transitioned to Windsor, this moniker has reportedly morphed into 'P. G Tips', much to the delight of tea aficionados.

    Unlike some children who might shy away from nicknames, George is said to embrace his, often responding to 'Tips' among friends and family members. It appears that despite his Royal status, George is treated just like any other kid, with his nickname underscoring his integration into the group.

    A Vanity Fair insider shared, "He's very popular and has a lot of friends, and there's very little fuss made about who he is."

    George isn't the sole Royal youngster with an affectionate alias. The Princess of Wales has been overheard calling her youngest, Prince Louis, 'Lou Bugs' and refers to Charlotte, her middle child, as either 'Lottie' or 'Poppet'.
