Prince George (opens in new tab) may soon be headed for a big change.

The Mirror (opens in new tab) reports that the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (opens in new tab) may be leaving London to attend school in the country (specifically, Berkshire) starting next school year.

Speculation about a change in George's educational plans has been fueled by several things. First, George will turn 8 years old at the end of this month, the same age his father, Prince William (opens in new tab), started attending Radgrove School in Berkshire. William attended Radgrove School until 1995, when he entered the prestigious private school Eton College at the age of 13 (opens in new tab).

A second piece of evidence that seems to support George's transfer is reports that William and his wife, Kate Middleton (opens in new tab), are looking into both schools and local real estate in the Berkshire area.

A full-time move of the entire Cambridge family to the Berkshires (opens in new tab) is possible, but considered unlikely at this time; the Mirror reports that speculation is that they will be "based in London during the school year and flex boarding for the children in the Berkshires is likely to be chosen, but nothing has been confirmed yet".

Currently, George and his sister Princess Charlotte attend Thomas Battersea Prep School in London (opens in new tab), while Cambridge's youngest child, 2-year-old Prince Louis, attends Wilcox Nursery in Kensington (opens in new tab).

"Nothing is set in stone yet, and of course it is entirely possible that the children will remain in Thomas, but William and Kate have been visiting schools in the Berkshire area recently and are the subject of much publicity," a source told the Daily Mail (opens in new tab). (open in new tab)) about the possibility of George transferring schools.
