Like lots of children across the UK this week, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are enjoying their school half-term holiday. And there’s another familiar scenario playing out too as their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, juggle the young royals’ very different focuses.
All three are now students at the Berkshire-based prep school Lambrook, located just a stone’s throw from the family’s home of Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate. But while Charlotte, eight, and five-year-old Louis are still enjoying a relatively carefree education, for big brother George, 10, the realities and stresses of school exams have set in, and it’s likely to be impacting the family now in ways they haven’t encountered before.
“William and Kate have three children with very different demands. We know poor George has been feeling rather under the cosh lately because school life seems to be all about being tested,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond tells OK!. “So this half-term holiday could involve a certain amount of revision. That will be doubly hard with his sister and brother having all the fun, but I’m sure William and Kate will find a healthy balance that will allow George to join in most of the time.
“George will be their priority right now because of his exams and his future schooling to consider. Charlotte is relatively carefree but, as the only girl, she’ll no doubt command special attention. Louis is the little kid on the block – probably getting away with murder while their parents are too busy with the others to chastise him! I’m sure William and Kate are at full stretch keeping their youngsters entertained and happy during the holidays.
