The 13-year-old arrived for his first day with the Prince and Princess of Wales at his side, a milestone any family here recognizes: the uniform, the unfamiliar hallways, the parents lingering a beat longer than the son would like. A source close to the family described him as "excited and a little nervous," which is precisely the mix any parent knows well from a first morning drop-off, whether the campus is centuries old or right here at home.

With reporting from Vanity Fair.
