  "account": "Prince George is set to begin his first day at Eton College, a prestigious boarding school that has educated 20 British prime ministers and charges approximately £65,000 annually in fees. The 13-year-old prince, the eldest child of Prince William and Catherine, will become a boarder at the historic school located in Berkshire. This decision aligns with the paths of his father, Prince William, his uncle Prince Harry, and great-uncle Earl Spencer, all of whom also attended Eton College.\n\nEton College, renowned for its 25 boarding houses each housing around 55 pupils, has been the alma mater of numerous notable figures, including Lord David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Kwasi Kwarteng, and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg. The school's facilities are described as spectacular, set amidst spacious grounds, yet it maintains a progressive outlook despite its ancient buildings. A recent article in the Good Schools Guide highlights that Eton provides each student with a private single room and offers a modern education for boys entering the school at the age of 13.\n\nPrince George's decision to attend Eton College is a significant one, given the vast array of private schools available to his parents. His mother, father, and brother, along with a house master, accompanied him on his first day at Eton, mirroring the routine he followed when his father first started his education there in 1995. As the second in line to the British throne, Prince George's education at Eton represents a preparation for the unique challenges of a modern working royal.",
