George's Eton start collides with Sussex return, testing Wales family's privacy strategy

9/2/2026

Prince George, 13, is expected to begin his first term at Eton College on September 8.

The timing overlaps with Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's return to the United Kingdom with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, after six years away.

For Prince William and Princess Kate, managing both developments at once has drawn concern from multiple royal commentators.

The Wales family had reportedly spent what Kinsey Schofield, a royal commentator, described to Fox News Digital as "their last Scottish summer holiday together" before George leaves home.
