Can you believe Princess Charlotte’s big day is finally here?
The daughter of Duchess Catherine and Prince William is about to embark on a brand new adventure.
The smiling four-year-old is joining her big brother, Prince George, enrolling in school.
Seeing her off for her first day at St Thomas’s Battersea are mum Kate Middleton, dad William and little brother Prince George – leaving young Prince Louis at home.
British reporter Rebecca English shared, “She’s very excited, I’m told – as is George at the chance to show her around the school where he has been a pupil for the last two years.”
WATCH little Charlotte wave to the cameras.
We still remember when Wills and Kate welcomed Princess Charlotte on May 2, 2015.
Last week, Kensington Palace confirmed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to accompany Princess Charlotte for her first day of school at Thomas’s Battersea on Thursday 5th September.
And now, all dressed in her adorable school uniform – the Princess is off to learn.
More on Charlotte’s new school
Thomas’s Battersea, which describes itself as a Christian school, open to children of all faiths, believes in “praise as the greatest motivator”.
Parents are told their children will be in an atmosphere which seeks positive relationships between pupils, teachers and parents.
George, who is six, started at the school in September 2017.
Art, ballet, drama, ICT, French, music and physical education are all taught by specialist teachers from a child’s first day.
The school is housed in a Grade II listed building, the former Sir Walter St John’s Grammar School which dates back to 1700.
American TV presenter Lara Spencer had to apologise after comments she made about George taking ballet lessons sparked a social media backlash.
During a segment on ABC’s Good Morning America, she claimed William said his son “absolutely loves ballet”.
“I have news for you, Prince William: We’ll see how long that lasts,” she said. “I mean, he might.”
What will Charlotte’s friends call her?
According to tradition, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s middle child will be addressed as Charlotte Cambridge by her school friends and teachers.
The surname ‘Cambridge’ comes from her parent’s title, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Royal fans will remember that Prince George, six, also adopted the surname Cambridge when he started school in 2017.
Prince William and Prince Harry were known as William and Harry Wales whilst at school, a surname passed on by Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales.
The official Royal Family website explains that royals “can be known both by the name of the royal house, and by a surname, which are not always the same.
“Just as children can take their surnames from their father, so sovereigns normally take the name of their ‘House’ from their father.”
