Britain’s Prince George has started the next stage of his education with his first day at Eton College on Tuesday.

The 13-year-old is following in the footsteps of his father Prince William and his uncle, Prince Harry - both of whom attended the prestigious school outside of London.

George appeared to be in good spirits despite the gloomy fall weather as he made his way to his new school accompanied by his parents, William and Catherine.

George, who is second in line to the British throne, arrived in a jacket, shirt and tie and dark trousers but soon changed into the school’s uniform of a black tailcoat, waistcoat and pinstriped trousers, with a stiff white collar.

The family crossed the historic institution’s School Yard, a cobblestoned quad with a statue of King Henry VI, who founded the school in 1440, at its center before being met by the school’s principal Simon Henderson and provost Nicholas Coleridge.
