Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will all start at Lambrook School, near Windsor in Berkshire, on Thursday morning. But before the big day, a small pack of press including a TV camera, photographer and reporter were invited to the grounds as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took their three children for a grooming session. The five of them were filmed walking down a path in front of the school to meet the headteacher, Jonathan Perry. Four-year-old Louis, who is starting full-time education, and his nine-year-old brother and seven-year-old sister all looked confident and happy, with even mum and dad smiling as they all appeared to be chatting away. William called his children “the whole gang” as he led them up the steps of the grand white 19th-century mansion and said the three were eager to get started. “Welcome to Lambbrook,” Mr. Perry told the children. “It’s great to have you with us. We’re very excited for the year ahead.”

Shaking each hand in turn, he asked, “Are you excited?” with all three answering “Yes”. William remarked: “We’re looking forward to it,” adding that the children had “a lot of questions.” The open afternoon was a chance for the children to meet some of the other new pupils, and also no doubt a chance for the new parents to get used to the fact that they might see Prince William and Kate at the school gates.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis start their first day at Lambrook School, near Ascot in Berkshire. The arrangement in the afternoon Set in 52 acres, Lambrook Prep School prides itself on giving students ‘wings to fly’, helping their students aged 3 to 13 to become confident, intelligent and creative young people. Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of the Good Schools Guide, says it will tick a lot of boxes for William and Kate, who decided to move to Windsor so the children could have more privacy. He told Sky News: “The Cambridges’ first priority at this point in the children’s development is to maintain that normality, so I think they can expect to be picked for matches the same as their peers. “Mum and dad will be on the sidelines cheering them on, the same with school plays, concerts and plays, but on top of that, the school will prepare them for a life of public service and has a very socially conscious feeling to it. “Jonathan Perry is incredibly focused on making sure his students understand their situation, that everyone understands their privilege, and you know, make no mistake about it, we’re talking about an incredibly privileged group here.
