Prince Harry previously revealed a brutal four-word remark that Prince William said to him when he joined him at Eton College. William had joined the prestigious school three years before his younger brother, and was already settled into life as a boarder when Harry started in 1998.
The once-close brothers have endured a fractured relationship for many years, especially since Harry's decision to step back from royal life in 2020. William and Harry are no longer on speaking terms, and the timing of their last conversation is unknown.
Writing in his bombshell 2023 memoir, titled Spare, Harry shared an insight into their relationship growing up, with William thought not to have been happy about his younger sibling joining him at his school.
Harry wrote: "Willy told me to pretend I didn't know him."
He then added that William told him, "'You don't know me, Harold'," before adding, "'And I don't know you'."
With the conversion thought to have coincided with Harry's entry to Eton in 1998, the brothers would have been aged 16 and 13.
Kensington Palace made a long-awaited announcement today, revealing that Prince George will be following in the footsteps of his father and uncle by joining Eton College this autumn.
George will mark his 13th birthday next month, with the young royal thought to be finishing his journey at Lambrook School within weeks.
Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, will continue their studies at Lambrook School, located a short distance from their home, Forest Lodge.
The statement released today read: "Kensington Palace can confirm that Prince George will attend Eton College from this September".
