While it was initially thought Prince George would attend
Prince William's alma mater, Eton College, rumors have swirled that he may attend
Kate Middleton's previous school, Marlborough College. "While Eton would be the obvious choice because it is on their doorstep and where William went, they are leaning towards other schools. I'm hearing Marlborough is the front-runner," a source told
Daily Express.

Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince George have reportedly been touring numerous schools before the future king of England makes a final decision. "I genuinely don't think they've one hundred percent decided, but there is talk among the Marlborough set that they've allocated a house for George and that security has been a big issue," the source said.

According to royal expert
Ingrid Seward, the public probably won't know where Prince George will be educated until right before he attends. "I expect we will be told later on in the summer at the very last minute, when the security detail has been organized, but clearly it's an important consideration," she told
Vanity Fair.

Due to Prince George's royal status, safety will be a major factor in the decision. "It will require two protection officers taking it in turns to look after George while he's at school," Ingrid Seward said.
