Prince George arrives at Eton College for first day at new school
Prince George has started at Eton College three decades after his father donned the same school uniform.
Cameras captured the future king's arrival at Eton College, a 600-year-old school with annual student fees of about $121,000.
What's next?
Prince George's younger cousins, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are also due to start new schools in the UK this month, but it is not clear which schools they will attend.

The future king's uncle, Prince Harry, also attended Eton, which is close to the monarch's Windsor Castle, west of London, and where William and Catherine and their other two children Charlotte and Louis also have a home.
Fees for the all-boys boarding school, which was founded by King Henry VI in 1440, are about £65,000 ($121,000) a year.

Eton has long been the alma mater for many of the country's political leaders. Twenty British prime ministers, including Boris Johnson and David Cameron, went to the school, as did actors Hugh Laurie, Damian Lewis and Tom Hiddleston.
It retains many traditions. Pupils wear tail coats, waistcoats and gowns, and teachers are referred to as "beaks".

Prince George's first day also happened to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the death of his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
