Prince George starts at Eton, where a strict smartphone ban wins parental support

Prince George, 13, has started at Eton College, where a strict school rule bans smartphones, allowing only basic devices for calls and texts without internet access. The policy aligns with Prince William and Kate Middleton's public concerns about children's digital access and mental health. Parents reportedly welcomed the rule, which prevents students from browsing social media. George follows his father's footsteps at the Berkshire boarding school, where new students, called "F Blockers", learn school traditions like Latin-inspired slang. His parents are adjusting to his departure, which a school guide editor described as a significant transition.
