The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge might be getting some quiet time — for a couple of hours a day at least.
Prince William and Kate Middleton were all smiles as they dropped off Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte for their first day of school on Wednesday.
The family of five strolled into the Lambrook School hand-in-hand for a “settling in afternoon” to welcome new students and their families before the school year begins.
Upon their arrival at the prestigious school in Berkshire, the family was greeted by the school’s headmaster Jonathan Perry.
Middleton, 40, donned a brown polka dot dress and a pair of tan heels while William, also 40, looked polished in navy slacks and a matching blazer.
Their two sons matched in their new school uniform of navy shorts and a light blue collared shirt. Meanwhile, Charlotte, 7, looked picture perfect in a blue and white checkered dress and French braids.
The trio looked confident as they marched up the large steps to meet their future teachers and peers.
Last month, the family announced all three children would be leaving their schools in London after the family moved to Windsor.
“Their Royal Highnesses are hugely grateful to Thomas’s Battersea where George and Charlotte have had a happy start to their education since 2017 and 2019, respectively, and are pleased to have found a school for all three of their children which shares a similar ethos and values,” their statement read.
Perry added in a statement of his own upon hearing the exciting news, “We are delighted that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will be joining us this coming September and very much look forward to welcoming the family, as well as all of our new pupils, to our school community.”
News broke in June that William, Middleton and their kids would be leaving London in order “to take on a far more senior role in the royal family.”
A source told Page Six that the move would also allow the Cambridges to be closer to family — including Queen Elizabeth II.
“Catherine’s parents, Mike and Carole, are only a few miles away in the village of Bucklebury, while Catherine’s sister, Pippa, and her husband, James, are looking for a new country home, too. The Middletons are all so close and William loves them.”
So don’t be surprised if you see some of the little one’s royal relatives waiting in the pick-up loop after school.
