Prince George follows Prince William's footsteps at Eton in a changing royal world: experts

Prince George is following in his father's footsteps by attending Eton College and royal experts are calling it a very different royal world.

On Monday, George was photographed arriving to his first day with his happy parents in tow. and Kate Middleton were seen beaming in photos with their oldest son.

"A new successful chapter for the future heir to the throne. His great-grandmother would be tickled pink. Its four years to the day, she passed. No doubt hell settle in well and master all the skills of kingship," Helena Chard, British broadcaster and photographer, told Fox News Digital.

Chard added, "A buoyant Prince George arrived at Eton with the grounding presence of his chuffed supportive parents. He beamed to cameras fully aware of the drill. A brief photo-call, picture release and a hope that his education will take place away from public eyes. Simon Henderson welcomed Prince George to Eton, telling him, 'Welcome. Good Luck. Enjoy it.'"

Chard told Fox News Digital that Prince George's classmates could turn into paparazzi, but it's highly unlikely.

"His friends could be the new paparazzi with their phones at the ready. However, my hunch is his peers are of similar high profile ilk, unfazed by celebrity and royalty," she said.

Hilary Fordwich, British royals expert, explained that Prince George is continuing the family tradition by attending Eton.

"Just as Prince William attended Eton it will provide stability, continuity and given family tradition has proven well for Prince William, it certainly is the best choice given the challenges of raising the future king," Fordwich told Fox News Digital.

Fordwich acknowledged the large media presence for Prince George's first day, she predicts that will die down.

"While there was extensive coverage of Prince Williams first day, Prince Georges is expected to be more modest with a limited press pool. Given Adelaide Cottage is close by on the Windsor estate, just as Prince William would take tea with his beloved grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William may well be able to pop home for family visits," she said. "Importantly, being amongst pupils of his ilk hell be focused on academics, athletics and relatively normal school-boy adolescent life rather than isolated as previous generations were in the confines of a palace with tutors."

"Luckily, given the family stability, he wont be subject to the intense media scrutiny his grandparents went through given the state of their marriage when Prince William attended as then Prince Charles & Princess Dianas marriage was rapidly disintegrating," Fordwich added.
