In the birthday video the young prince appears to wear a Garmin D2 Air X15 on his left wrist — a model marketed to aviation fans with flight tools like weather and logging. It aligns with George’s growing interest in flying: he took his first lesson shortly after turning 11 and recently visited RAF Coningsby with his mother.

School rules and family plans

George’s move to Eton — an all-boys boarding school founded in 1440 and located about 15 miles from the family’s Windsor home — also reflects family preferences: William and Kate limit smartphones at home, and first-year students at Eton are issued simple phones without internet. Insiders say George has long wanted to follow his father’s footsteps, and Eton’s reputation for rigorous education and leadership development was a major factor.
