Prince George appears to be following in his dad's footsteps.

The eldest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton was seen touring the prestigious Eton College in Windsor, England, Wednesday.

The trio was spotted talking to two members of staff at the school, which William began attending in 1995, and his brother, Prince Harry, in 1998.

The 9-year-old wore a pair of navy shorts, a blue short-sleeved shirt and black shoes as he stood beside his father, who looked smart in a blue jacket and a pair of dark trousers.

Middleton, who also shares daughter Charlotte, 8, and son Louis, 5, with the Prince of Wales, looked radiant in an aquamarine dress and beige ballet pumps with a small heel.

She styled her brunette hair in loose waves, which blew in the wind while she spoke to the staff members at the boys-only school.

The institution costs about $58,600 a year in fees, and has educated the likes of actor Eddie Redmayne and former British Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and David Cameron.

Although Eton only accepts boys from the age of 13, George will celebrate his 10th birthday next month, so it's thought his parents may be getting him familiar with the school early.

He currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire - along with his two younger siblings - which has a strong environmental focus and dozens of music classes on offer.

Unlike William and Harry, George's grandfather, King Charles lll, attended the Scottish boarding school Gordonstoun.

He was sent to the school by his father, Prince Philip, who also attended the school. However, Charles is believed to have "detested" his time there.

Novelist William Boyd said the newly crowned monarch described it as "penal servitude."

Charles has downplayed these reports through the years.

"I am always astonished by the amount of rot talked about Gordonstoun and the careless use of ancient clichés used to describe it," he said during a House of Lords speech in 1975.

"It was only tough in the sense that it demanded more of you as an individual than most other schools did - mentally or physically."

When the time came, Charles ultimately opted not to send his own children to the Scottish school.

George, who may mark the second generation of royals to attend Eton, most recently celebrated Father's Day with William, and flashed a giant smile while posing beside his siblings and their dad.

"Happy Father's Day," the family captioned a portrait taken by Millie Pilkington and released on Twitter last week.

Their youngest child, Louis, wrapped his arms around the heir to the British throne and flashed a cheeky smile at the camera.

Meanwhile, George and Charlotte sat beside William, 40, and looked up at him adoringly.

The never-before-seen snap even offered a nod to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The Prince and Princess of Wales posed for the photograph on a bench at the Windsor Estate that was gifted to the long-reigning monarch in 2016 on her 90th birthday.
