Prince George may be attending his father Prince William’s alma matter, Eton College, sometime in the future.

The 9-year-old was seen visiting the school with William, 41, and mom Kate Middleton Wednesday, according to Hello! magazine.

For the trip, the little prince donned navy shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.

George stood next to his father, who matched in a blue casual suit.

Middleton, 41, and William were spotted happily talking with employees by a sign that said: “Porters’ Lodge.”

The Prince of Wales attended Eton — which sits next to Windsor Castle — in 1995 when he was 13.

Five years later, he graduated and made his way to college at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

George will be turning 10 next month, however, in order for him to be eligible for a 2026 entry at Eton, children should be registered by June.

The institution costs about $58,000 a year and is for boys 13 to 18.

The all-male elite school was founded by King Henry VI in 1440 and many prominent figures have attended including Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston and former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Several other members of the royal family have also earned their diplomas from Eton, including the late Queen Elizabeth’s first cousins Prince Edward, Prince Richard and Prince Michael.

As for George, he has been attending Lambrook School in Berkshire since September 2022 alongside his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

William’s younger bother, Prince Harry, is also an alum of Eton, having been a student there between 1998 and 2003.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, gave some insight into his experience at the school, writing in his recent memoir “Spare” that going to Eton was “a profound shock.”

“[While Eton was] heaven for brilliant boys, it could thus only be purgatory for one very unbrilliant boy,” Harry wrote, adding that William refused to acknowledge him when they saw each other during class.

The Invictus Games founder went on: “[William] explained, Eton had been his sanctuary. No kid brother tagging along, pestering him with questions, pushing up on his social circle. He was forging his own life, and he wasn’t willing to give that up.”

William was the first senior royal to be educated at the institution, as his father King Charles and grandfather Prince Philip had attended the Scottish boarding school, Gordonstoun.

The monarch, 74, reportedly despised Gordonstoun when he was enrolled there in the 1960s.

Charles was bullied mercilessly during his time there — which has allegedly made him a  “kinder” and more “emphatic” sovereign.
