After the long summer break, Prince George , Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are all back in class, no doubt reminding them of a moment they probably still laugh about from a previous stroll to school.
The siblings all started at Lambrook School in Berkshire after moving to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. They started there in 2022 when Louis was four and looked smart in his uniform as he walked alongside his family.
A hilarious photo taken at the time showed the youngster holding mum Kate’s hand as Prince William walked beside him on his left. But when Wills offered his youngest son his hand too, Louis ignored him and instead stared ahead.

Rather than pushing the issue, the Prince of Wales admitted defeat and gave the youngster a stroke on the head. Moments later they met headteacher Jonathan Perry who said: “Welcome to Lambrook, it’s lovely to have you with us. We’re very excited for the year ahead.”
It was the first time all three siblings had attended school together, with Louis starting his education in pre-prep and his older siblings joining the prep as new starters. As well as strong academic standards, private mixed school Lambrook has 178 LAMDA lessons on offer each week along with 420 individual music lessons, from tap dancing to bagpipe playing.
The school also has a firm environmental focus, with each class in charge of its own veg patch, as well as lessons on ecology and the food industry.
Earlier this summer, 10-year-old Prince George was spotted visiting Eton , his dad’s former school, where fees cost £46,000 a year. Kate was seen talking to two employees of the famous and historic school while wearing an elegant aquamarine dress and ballet pumps, Hello! reports.
The family were standing near an archway, by a sign that reads: ‘Porters’ Lodge’ and previous reports about the school explain through the doors you’ll find the school yard where a statue of the college’s founder, King Henry VI, is displayed.
William was the first senior royal to go to Eton and was followed by brother Harry who was also educated there between 1998 and 2003. It is one of three public schools to have remained boys only, alongside Harrow and Radley, and has educated the likes of George Orwell and Eddie Redmayne.
It also counts 20 British Prime Ministers along with its alumni, including Boris Johnson and David Cameron .
