Eton was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI.

Eton is an all-boys school located outside London near the town of Windsor, according to the school's website. It was originally intended to educate poor boys before they went on to Cambridge University.

It is one of England's nine original fee-paying independent schools, according to The New York Times.

Before being accepted, students go through a two-part application process that begins three years before they enroll.

Only boys between the ages of 13 and 18 attend Eton. The application process begins at age 10, when prospective students take an online assessment before taking an in-person test and being interviewed at Eton, according to the school's website. 

The application to enter Eton in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 is closed for everyone except applicants to two specific scholarships, the school's website states. 

Once accepted, a student's parents will then have to pay an acceptance fee on top of the school's annual £46,296, or about $58,550, fee, according to Eton's website.

Eton students live in one of the 25 houses on campus.

Each house is home to about 50 students of every age, according to Eton's website.

The houses are run by a professional housemaster who supervises the boys, and a hired dame who supervises the house's full-time staff. Some of the houses employ private chefs to feed their residents, while others send their students to the school's dining hall.

Every student has a private room, according to the school's website. 

Students wear Eton's traditional uniform.

Eton's daily uniform consists of a black tailcoat, white tie, waistcoat, and striped pants, according to the BBC. A top hat is added for special occasions.

Eton plans out students' entire day, beginning with breakfast at 7:30 a.m.

Eton students' days begin with breakfast at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays, according to the school's website.

They then either attend a Chapel service or Assembly at 8:35 a.m. Afterward, students attend three classes, which are referred to as "schools" before a break, which is called "chambers." During chambers, they can have a snack and meet with their headmaster before attending two more schools, which is followed by extracurricular activities and afternoon tea.

Students are served dinner at 7:30 p.m., after which they have evening prayers and go to sleep. 

Life at Eton is governed by traditions, including the wall game.

Eton has accomplished rowing, soccer, and cricket teams, but the wall game is Eton's best-known extracurricular, according to its website.

The school describes the game as "resembling elements of both football and rugby despite at times looking like no other imaginable game." Players try to kick the ball down a narrow strip of grass next to one of the college's walls to score.

Eton students are known for their powerful connections.

A group of 11 Eton students traveled to Russia to meet with President Putin in 2016, Insider previously reported. The students planned the trip on their own with no help from the school, Eton said in a statement to The Telegraph.

Fifteen members of the British royal family have attended Eton, including Prince William and Prince Harry, according to the BBC.

Royals like the princes typically live in Eton's Manor House, Insider previously reported.

Eton has also educated royals from Belgium, Romania, Ethiopia, Thailand, and Nepal, according to the school's website.

Boris Johnson was the fifth Eton graduate to become prime minister since World War II.

Prime Ministers David Cameron, Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Macmillan, and Anthony Eden also attended Eton.

Eton has educated a total of 21 prime ministers in its history, according to the BBC.

Royals and future politicians are not the only famous graduates to come out of Eton. Actors Tom Hiddleston and Eddie Redmayne are also "Old Etonians."

Redmayne played on the same rugby team as Prince William at Eton, according to People.

"I always felt a bit sorry for him because basically any school you played, all they wanted to do was tackle Prince William and they could say, 'I tackled Prince William,'" Redmayne said, according to People. "So if you were standing next to Prince William, like I was, it was actually quite easy and quite fun."

Hiddleston graduated from Eton one year before Prince William and Redmayne, according to the school's website.

Prince George was recently seen touring the historic school.

In June, Prince George was spotted touring the campus with his parents Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, People reported. 

George will turn 10 in July, so he may have been checking out the school ahead of his own registration. If he registered before the end of June, Prince George would begin attending Eton in 2026.
