Who knows? He’s nine years old. He probably thinks boarding school is just a place where you get to wear a cool uniform and avoid your little sister’s princess tantrums. If I were him, I’d be most excited about the freedom—like, no one telling you to eat your vegetables at dinner because you’re already in the dining hall with twenty other loud kids.
But let’s be real: even a prince gets homesick. The newspapers love to speculate, but the truth is, George is just a kid trying to figure out a new routine. Good luck, little dude. I hope he remembers to pack extra snacks and a secret stash of chocolate coins for emergencies.
The royal family’s secret strategy: Routine + reassurance
Kate and William are playing it smart. They’re using lots of practice runs, like mini “boarding school boot camps.” It’s not about throwing him into the deep end; it’s about letting him test the waters with floaties on. Communication is key—they probably have a secret code word for when he feels wobbly.
And let’s not forget the royal Instagram account. We’ll probably see a photo of George smiling nervously in front of a door at Eton, holding a backpack that looks suspiciously empty. The caption will say something like, “First day jitters? More like first day royal!” (I made that up, but it sounds plausible.)
