Before Prince William drove him to his first day of school at Thomas's Battersea in South London Thursday, the 4-year-old posed with his dad for an official portrait, taken by Getty Images royal photographer Chris Jackson. George was all smiles in his freshly pressed uniform.  "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share a photograph of The Duke and Prince George at Kensington Palace this morning. The image was taken shortly before Prince George left for his first day of school at Thomas's Battersea," a Kensington Palace spokesperson said. "Their Royal Highnesses are delighted to share this lovely picture as Prince George starts school, and would like to thank everyone for all of the kind messages they have received." |

Fees at Thomas's Battersea cost £17,604 a year and increase in year 3. If George stays at the selective establishment throughout, until the end of Year 8 when he turns 13, the total cost will be £172,116.  The school has 560 boys and girls aged from four to 13, with around 20 in each class. The Good Schools Guide described Thomas's Battersea as "big, busy [and] slightly chaotic school" popular among "cosmopolitan parents" |

It looks like the littlest British royals have made room on their shelves for a children’s book about a monster.  On Monday, Prince William chatted with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the author and illustrator of the children’s book The Gruffalo, at a Tusk Trust event to raise awareness about rhino poaching. When the prince and dad of three met the pair, who had designed a rhino statue for the event, he told them, “I know who you are. It’s a big hit in our household, The Gruffalo,” People reported.  |

 As school holidays go, the summer of 2018 was epic for Prince George and Princess Charlotte. After welcoming their new little brother, Prince Louis, in April and serving as tiny attendants for their Uncle Harry’s wedding to their new aunt, Duchess Meghan, in May, there was no way the next generation of royals were going to slow down. Following their tropical vacation to the Caribbean island of Mustique with their parents, they spent the rest of the warm weather months at Anmer Hall, their family’s summer home in Norfolk, England, and Balmoral Castle in Scotland (the holiday home of great-grandmother, a.k.a. Queen Elizabeth II). But once the school year started again September 3, the tiny heirs were back to their so-called normal lives. And if those don’t look exactly like those of their commoner pals, they come close as possible. “William and Kate very much prioritize bringing up the children in as normal an environment as possible over anything else,” a royal insider says in the new issue of Us Weekly. “They haven’t lost sight of that.” Every morning, Mum and Dad take turns driving Prince George, 5, to his private school, Thomas’s of Battersea in south London, and walking Princess Charlotte, 3, to Willcock’s Nursery School in Kensington. Now that Prince George is in Year One, he’s following the typical British curriculum: “He’s studying subjects like geography, French and maths,” says the insider, noting he’ll also be given homework. |
