He's just seven weeks old - but Elton John is already planning baby Zachary's school career.
And it looks as though his son will be given every opportunity to follow in his father's footsteps when it comes to honing his musical skills.
According to reports, the singer songwriter - who became a father at the end of last year when the baby was born to a surrogate - has already put Zachary's name down for an exclusive prep school which trains the Queen's choirboys.
St George's School, which is in the shadow of Windsor Castle, is popular with the royals, with former pupils including Prince Andrew and the Duchess Of York's younger daughter Eugenie. And Prince Edward's daughter Lady Louise Windsor is currently a pupil there.
And The Sun reports that Zachary will be joining them in the future, after Elton visited the school this week and met with headmaster Roger Jones to discuss enrolling Zachary.
'It was no surprise when Sit Elton said his first choice of school for Zachary was the royal choice school here,' a Windsor Castle source told the paper.
'It has an incredible music department and staff. All the children play an instrument from the age of about seven, and the piano is the favourite. Pupils all learn to sing and become part of the choir, and the best sing for the Queen in St George's Chapel.
The school - originally founded in 1348 - takes pupils from the age of three in its nursery up to 13, and Zachary will have the option of either boarding or being a day pupil.
