Prince George officially has a new address. The 13-year-old future king arrived for his first day at Eton College on Tuesday. Prince William and Kate Middleton dropped off their eldest at the school gates. A source tells Vanity Fair the young royal is 'excited and a little nervous' about it all.

The move kicks off five years at the storied Windsor college, where George was pictured in his Eton uniform for the first time, per Hello! It's a full-circle moment: he's following in dad William's footsteps at the school, and the first-day photos have milestone written all over them.
