Prince George passed Eton College's entrance exams with “no special treatment” — earning his spot just like every other applicant to the prestigious boarding school, Vanity Fair royal correspondent Katie Nicholl told Fox News Digital. But behind the scenes, Prince William and Princess Kate reportedly wrestled with the decision. Kate had reservations about sending the future king to what's widely seen as an "old boys' club," even floating her own alma mater, Marlborough College, as an alternative. William, meanwhile, pushed hard for Eton, where he was educated alongside Prince Harry. William is said to be "absolutely delighted,” while George, who turns 13 today, is proud to follow in his father's footsteps.
