Speaking to , biographer Duncan Larcombe claimed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are "eyeing up"; schools in Berkshire for their eight-year-old.

After all, the expert said it's "unusual" for children in the Royal Family to only be educated at a single primary and secondary school.

He explained: "William and Harry broke the mould by going to the same school, but if you look at the Queen's children, they were all schooled separately."

The expert added: "Kate had a traditional co-ed education but it seems to be almost par for the course with the royals that they don't pile all of their children into the same school."

He added: "There are little boys somewhere who will make friends with Prince George at his new school and may well be his right-hand men for the rest of their lives."

Speaking to the , an insider claimed: "It's an open secret the Cambridges are looking to settle in Berkshire and George is set to leave Thomas's this summer, unless circumstances suddenly change.

"It's the talk of the county and they will, of course, be made extremely welcome.

'"They always put their children front and centre of everything they do, so finding the right school has been a priority. It's about what works for them as a family."
