Prince George Begins His First Year at Eton College

Published

on

Prince George has begun a new chapter in his education, arriving at Eton College on Tuesday, September 8, accompanied by his parents, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales.

The 13-year-old, who is second in line to the British throne, was welcomed to the Berkshire school by head master Simon Henderson and Provost Sir Nicholas Coleridge. Henderson greeted George with a simple message: “Welcome, good luck, enjoy it.”

The arrival marked a significant moment for the young royal, who is beginning his secondary education at one of Britain’s most historic schools. George was dressed in Eton’s traditional smart attire, including a dark blazer, shirt, tie, chinos and brown suede shoes, as he walked with his parents through the school grounds.

The family arrived from Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, their nearby home, making the journey to Eton a relatively short one. George’s younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were not present for the occasion and are continuing their education at Lambrook School, where all three children previously studied together.

George’s move to Eton also continues a family tradition. His father attended the school from 1995, while his uncle, Prince Harry, was also educated there. William’s first day was notably more public, with his parents, then Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and Harry accompanying him for photographs as he signed in on September 6, 1995.

Eton’s connection with the royal family stretches beyond the Wales household. Founded by King Henry VI in 1440 and situated close to Windsor Castle, the school has educated numerous prominent figures, including 20 British prime ministers and actors such as Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. Writers George Orwell and Ian Fleming and adventurer Bear Grylls are also among its former pupils.

George will attend the all-boys boarding school as a full-time boarder. The school is known for its distinctive traditions, including pupils wearing tailcoats on formal occasions and referring to teachers as “beaks”. Annual fees are reported at approximately £65,000, placing Eton among Britain’s most expensive independent schools.

His arrival also places him at the centre of a very different media landscape from the one his father experienced. Town & Country notes that George is the first future British monarch to begin secondary school in the smartphone and social-media era. Eton has strict photography rules and has introduced basic “brick” phones for pupils, reflecting the wider effort to limit digital distractions and protect students’ privacy.

The school choice had been the subject of considerable interest before George’s enrollment was confirmed. William and Kate were reportedly seen touring Eton with their eldest son in 2023, while other schools, including Marlborough College and Oundle School, had been linked to the family in reports. Eton was ultimately chosen, allowing George to remain close to the Wales family’s Windsor home.

Kate also brought a familiar piece of her wardrobe to the occasion, wearing a bottle-green Emilia Wickstead midi dress she had previously worn in 2023. She paired it with chocolate-brown heels and a Laura Lombardi chain necklace, reinforcing the Princess of Wales’s well-established preference for reworking pieces from her existing wardrobe rather than treating every public appearance as a new look.

George’s first day at Eton falls on September 8, exactly four years after the death of his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and the accession of his grandfather, King Charles III. The date therefore carries a particular significance for a young royal whose future role will place him at the centre of the monarchy.

For now, however, George’s immediate milestone is much more personal: settling into a new school, meeting new classmates and beginning life at Eton. His arrival marks the end of his years at Lambrook and the beginning of an education shared, in a distinctly different generation, with both his father and uncle.

Ariana Madix’s Los Angeles home has reportedly been burgled on October 17,2026. According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the thieves took jewellery and other items from her home.

Police discovered damage to the property’s back door when officers responded to a report of the incident. The value of the missing jewellery has not been disclosed, and authorities had not publicly identified any suspects.

The incident was first reported by TMZ, which cited law enforcement sources. A neighbour contacted police on Monday, October 19, after the break-in. Officers arrived at 5:45 p.m. and began investigating the property. Their discovery of the shattered back door suggested that the intruder(s) may have entered through that point.

It is also unclear whether Madix was at home when the burglary happened. Neither the initial reports nor the available police information established her whereabouts at the time of the break-in.

The 41-year-old purchased property in 2024 for $1.6 million. This came after her highly publicised separation from Tom Sandoval, her former partner and Vanderpump Rules co-star. Their relationship ended in March 2023 after Sandoval’s affair with fellow cast member Rachel Leviss became public.

Madix and Sandoval had been together for  nine years. They also owned a home together, which became the subject of a legal dispute following their separation. Madix pursued the sale of the property, and the former couple later reached a settlement. Their former shared home was sold in May 2026 for a reported $3.1 million.

Madix is now with  Daniel Wai and became the host of “Love Island USA” in 2024, expanding her TV career beyond the Bravo reality series. She was involved in theatre work including a Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago in 2024. By October 2026, she was appearing as Connie Francis in the Broadway musical Just in Time.

Her representative had not immediately responded to requests for comment.

Michael Gray, the actor best known for playing Billy Batson in the 1970s television series Shazam!, has died at 75. He died of natural causes on October 16, 2026, in Palm Desert, California. His publicist confirmed his death on October 22.

Gray starred in Shazam! from 1974 to 1976, playing Billy Batson, a teenager who transformed into the superhero Captain Marvel by saying the word “Shazam!” The live-action series aired on CBS as part of its Saturday morning programming and ran for three seasons. Jackson Bostwick initially played Captain Marvel, with John Davey taking over the role later in the series.

Before landing the lead role in Shazam!, Gray appeared in several television productions. He played Ronnie Collins in NBC’s The Little People, which starred Brian Keith and Shelley Fabares and aired from 1972 to 1973. He also appeared as Jeff, Marcia Brady’s boyfriend, in an episode of The Brady Bunch in 1973. His other television credits included Room 222, The Flying Nun and Marcus Welby, M.D.

Born in Chicago on September 2, 1951, Gray grew up in Miami Beach, Florida, before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting and study at the Pasadena Playhouse. His film credits included Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Myra Breckinridge. His role in Shazam! brought him wider recognition, and he appeared on the covers of teen magazines, including Tiger Beat.

The attention that came with the series made Gray a recognizable face among young viewers, but he later became concerned about being typecast. He took a break from acting and explored other work, including children’s theater education and men’s fashion. He also owned and operated a floral business with his wife, Stacy Benon Gray, whom he married in 1994.

Gray returned to acting in later years, including appearances in the animated series Archer, in which he voiced a fictionalized version of himself. He also appeared in the reality series Comic Book Men and made a cameo in the 2023 film Shazam! Fury of the Gods. In the film, his appearance served as a nod to the original television series.

The 2012 release of Shazam! on DVD helped bring renewed attention to Gray’s work. He subsequently attended fan conventions, where he met viewers who remembered him from the series. His former co-star John Davey recalled Gray’s sense of humor and his enjoyment of meeting fans.

Gray is survived by his wife, Stacy Benon Gray, his stepchildren Ryan Cooper and Laurel Cooper, and his son-in-law, Lee Barker.

Kylie Jenner Is Reportedly ‘Jealous’ Kendall Could Get Engaged Before Her

Published

Kylie Jenner is reportedly keen to get engaged to Timothée Chalamet, but an alleged difference in their marriage plans is said to be causing frustration as speculation grows about her younger sister Kendall Jenner’s relationship with actor Jacob Elordi.

According to a report published on 21 October, an unnamed insider claims Kylie is ready for marriage and has made her wishes clear to Chalamet. The actor, however, is reportedly not ready to propose.

The same source claims people close to the two couples believe Kendall and Elordi could get engaged before Kylie and Chalamet, despite Kylie and Chalamet having been together for longer. The possibility is reportedly causing jealousy and frustration for Kylie.

“Even though Kylie and Timothée have been together much longer, people in their inner circle actually see Kendall and Jacob getting married first, and it’s causing some jealousy and frustration for Kylie,” the insider claimed.

Neither Kylie nor Kendall has publicly confirmed the reported tension, and the claims remain unverified.

Kylie and Chalamet were first romantically linked in April 2023. Although their relationship has attracted considerable attention, they have generally kept details of their private life out of the public eye.

The insider claims Kylie has told Chalamet that she sees marriage in their future but is not issuing an ultimatum. Instead, she reportedly hopes he will be ready to propose soon.

“She’s not giving him ultimatums or demanding a ring, but she’s definitely making her feelings known and hoping he’ll get there sooner rather than later,” the source said.

Chalamet, 30, is reportedly not ready to take that step. According to the insider, he remains committed to Kylie, 29, but a proposal in the near future could come from pressure rather than genuine readiness.

Kendall’s reported relationship with Elordi has become part of the engagement speculation. The pair were linked earlier in 2026 and reportedly made their relationship more public during a trip to Australia in June.

The insider described Elordi, 29, as more certain about his future with Kendall, 30, than Chalamet is about his own marriage plans. The source also claimed Kendall and Elordi’s relationship is progressing more quickly.

“Jacob is completely all in with Kendall,” the insider said, adding that he genuinely feels he has found the right person.

The source contrasted the two couples, describing Kendall and Elordi as more serious about their future together, while Kylie and Chalamet reportedly have a more relaxed relationship.

These descriptions come from an unnamed source and have not been independently confirmed. Neither Kendall nor Elordi has announced an engagement, and there is no public confirmation that they intend to marry soon.

Before dating Chalamet, Kylie was in a relationship with rapper Travis Scott. The pair began dating in 2017 and share two children: daughter Stormi, born in February 2018, and son Aire, born in February 2022.

Their relationship included periods of separation before they split in January 2023. They never married.

Kylie and Chalamet have been linked since 2023, making the reported difference in their expectations about marriage a focus of the latest speculation. However, the claim that she is jealous of Kendall’s possible engagement remains unconfirmed.

For now, neither Kylie and Chalamet nor Kendall and Elordi has announced an engagement. Whether either couple will marry, and when, remains unknown.
