Prince William (and eventually Prince Harry) attended the Eton College all-boys boarding school. William enrolled in 1995 when he was 13 years old. King Henry VI founded the posh institution in the mid-1400s. The uniforms resembled 1800s three-piece suits, complete with tailcoats. Press access was limited, but quite a few photos exist of William rocking the uniform. All of this sounds intimidating, and perhaps it was for the young prince.
On the «Time to Walk» podcast, William stated that he felt «anxiety» when it came time to go back to school each year. His mother Diana, Princess of Wales, hoped to ease these anxieties by playing music as she drove he and younger brother Prince Harry to Eton at the start of the school year. «One of the songs I massively remember and has stuck with me all this time, and I still, to this day, quite enjoy secretly, is Tina Turner’s ‘The Best’ because sitting in the backseat, singing away, it felt like a real family moment,» the prince explained.
