Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children will attend a new school after the family moves to Windsor.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 40, confirmed in a Kensington Palace press release Monday that Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, are set to leave Thomas’s Battersea in London for Lambrook School in Berkshire, where Prince Louis, 4, will also enroll.
“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,” the statement read.
Lambrook School headmaster Jonathan Perry added in a statement of his own, “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.”
As for Ben Thomas, the principal of Thomas’s London Day Schools, he wished the little ones “happiness at success at their next schools and beyond.”
Thomas added, “We would like to thank George, Charlotte and all of our leaving pupils for upholding the school’s values and for their many contributions to school life throughout their time at Thomas’s.”
George began attending the prep school in 2017, and Charlotte joined him two years later. Louis, meanwhile, attended Willcocks Nursery School in London.
News broke in June that William, Middleton and their kids are moving from the Big Smoke to Windsor.
While the family of five will keep their home in London, Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, and their estate in Norfolk, Anmer Hall, a source told Page Six that the locations will no longer “be their HQ.”
The insider added that having Windsor as a “home base … will allow William and Catherine to take on a far more senior role in the royal family.”
