Good morning!

Prince George's most recent public event was the Commonwealth Games

And welcome to a very special edition of HELLO!'s live blog, as Prince George is set to begin at Eton College today. 

George, 13, whose last major public appearance was at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with his family, is following in the footsteps of his father the Prince of Wales and uncle the Duke of Sussex, who both attended the public school.

The young prince previously attended Lambrook School, the private prep school in Berkshire, also attended by his siblings Princess Charlotte, 11, and eight-year-old Prince Louis.

It comes amid a very busy royal backdrop and follows a letter sent by the Lord Chamberlain on behalf of King Charles on Monday, which saw him confirm Prince Harry and Meghan's status as non-working royals, despite their return to the UK. 

Meanwhile, Princess Anne will attend the Margaret Haes Riding Centre Open Day in Greater Manchester, while Duchess Sophie will be visiting Cumbria. 

8 September also marks four years since the late Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral Castle, at the age of 96. 

Preparations are also continuing for King Harald of Norway's funeral on Wednesday, which will be attended by Prince William and Princess Anne. King Frederik and Queen Mary's state visit to Belgium was scheduled to begin on Tuesday, but it's been postponed due to the funeral.
