The holidays are over - also for the children of Prince William and Duchess Kate. And so George, Charlotte and Louis, accompanied by their parents, head back to school. They now have to find their way around a new school.
With their visit to Germany, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan just drew everyone's attention again. But nine-year-old Prince George, seven-year-old Princess Charlotte and three-year-old Prince Louis have just made an important appearance: the children of Prince William and Duchess Kate have started their first day of school after the summer holidays.
After the family moved from London to Windsor, about 40 kilometers away, the royal offspring has to find their way in a new environment and at a new school. For Prince Louis, who starts the pre-school year ("Reception"), it is the first contact with life as a student.
The three offspring of the Cambridges, as William and Kate are also called after their official ducal titles, spent a taster day on Wednesday at the private Lambrook School. Mom and Dad accompanied her. Photos and videos show William and Kate taking their children to school holding hands before being met by Headmaster Jonathan Perry.
William and Kate were more casual. He wore a dark blue jacket and pants of the same color, with a white shirt that was unbuttoned at the top. She presented herself in a brown dress with white dots. The two boys wore identical outfits—blue shorts paired with white lined shirts. Charlotte's blue and white dress also featured a line pattern. The children's outfits were the appropriate summer uniform for the Lambrook School.
The background to the family's move to the so-called Adelaide Cottage on the extensive grounds of Windsor Castle is said to be that William and Kate want to give their children more freedom of movement. The previous place of residence, Kensington Palace in the heart of London, is only moderately suitable for this. In addition, Queen Elizabeth II is now mainly staying in her former weekend quarters at Windsor Castle, because the 96-year-old no longer wants to go back and forth between London and Windsor for health reasons.
