Back to School

This is the first time the Prince George and Princess Charlotte will attend the same school. Previously, while Charlotte was enrolled at Willcocks Nursery School in London, George was a pupil at Westacre Montessori School Nursery in East Walton, which was closer to their family home at the time.

Roll Call

At school, the royals will ditch their titles of Prince and Princess. They'll go by George and Charlotte Cambridge. After all, their parents are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Hitting the Books

During her first year, Charlotte will be encouraged to "play and explore," according to the school. "Make choices and learn to have a go and persevere; be creative and solve problems; form good relationships; be safe, secure and happy."
