Prince George may be the future king of the United Kingdom, but when it comes to school, he is just like any other child.

Attending school in Windsor, alongside his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, the young prince shares in the same joys, struggles, and frustrations of everyday school life.

While his path to the throne might one day set him apart from his peers, for now, he leads a relatively ordinary life—one that, at times, has even caused concern for his parents, particularly his mother, Princess Catherine.

The Princess of Wales has long been open about the emotional scars she carries from her own boarding school experiences, which were marred by bullying.

Princess Catherine had been sent to *Marlborough College* at age 14, having previously attended *Downhouse*, where she was allegedly bullied. Her time at *Marlborough* was an important turning point for the young Catherine, offering her the opportunity to rebuild her confidence, form lasting friendships, and focus on her academic and extracurricular achievements. Yet, even though she eventually found her place, it wasn’t without its challenges.

Princess Catherine has also spoken candidly about the new challenges George is facing as he grows older. The 10-year-old prince is now beginning to face the “scary” concept of exams—a rite of passage for children of his age in the UK, but something that adds another layer of pressure for a future king. Catherine has expressed concern about how these academic pressures will affect George, and she has been focused on ensuring that he remains grounded throughout this period of his life.
