Currently, Eton College lists tuition fees as £15,432 per half – where ‘half’ means ‘term’ and three terms in the school year.
This works out to £46,296 a year for tuition fees at the prestigious school, whose alumni include David Cameron, Boris Johnson and George Osborne.
After moving to Windsor last year, the Welsh children all attend Lambrook Primary School in Berkshire, just 10 minutes’ drive from their new home, Adelaide Cottage.
Lambrook boasts ‘first-class education and excellent facilities’, including a 25-metre swimming pool, nine-hole golf course, artificial turf, hard courts, squash court, cricket and other sports grounds.

Famous alumni include the actor Alex Pettyfer, the sons of wartime Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, and entrepreneur Giles Clarke, who founded Majestic Wine.
