The 13-year-old future king will learn Eton’s formal dress, rare terminology and traditions as he begins his first term.
- On September 8, Prince George arrived at Eton College with Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, following his father and uncle Prince Harry to the Berkshire boarding school.
- George must adapt to Eton's formal uniform known as "School Dress," commonly called "tails," consisting of a black tailcoat and pinstriped trousers worn with a stiff white collar.
- The school year divides into three "Halves"—Michaelmas, Lent, and Summer—while teachers are traditionally known as "Beaks" and disciplinary procedures include the "Tardy Book" for late arrivals.
- New pupils face the colours test, an early challenge requiring them to learn colours associated with Eton's 25 boarding houses and navigate the complex house system.
- During the Michaelmas Half, George will encounter the Wall Game, where players compete along a five-metre-wide strip and can become locked in a tightly packed scrum called a "Bully.
