The Princess of Wales' dedication to furthering what we know about early years development has allowed for huge developments throughout the last decade.
And it is clear that the Princess practices what she preaches as there have been several links drawn between her work and the way she and Prince William are raising Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
This extends to both the approach of slowly increasing their children's visibility within the Firm and the way the three young royals have and will continue to be educated.
Speaking exclusively to OK!, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond revealed how the couple's own experiences at school, coupled with Kate's research, will shape the rest of George, Charlotte and Louis' time at school.
Jennie said: "The Prince and Princess of Wales have made it clear that their young family will, as far as possible, come first and that includes sending all three to day school, rather than having them as boarders away from home.
"Catherine had a very unhappy time at Downe House in her first two terms and was bullied quite badly before she left and moved to Marlborough College.
"This has completely influenced the way she wants her children to be educated, coupled with her belief and research into early years development.
"It is telling that Kate was heavily involved in searching for George, Charlotte and Louis' school as two of the key aspirations of Lambrook are kindness and inclusivity.
"Prince William and Prince Harry were at boarding school once they hit primary school age. Diana missed them hugely, but in the same breath, had been brought up in much of the same way away from her family.
"For the moment at least it seems William and Catherine want to keep their children close, as day pupils at Lambrook, in a happy and nurturing environment."
The preparatory school's website outlines their strict anti-bullying policy in a 21-page document and explains how they aim to put a stop to cyberbullying as well as verbal and physical incidents which happen on school grounds.
Their official statement reads: "Lambrook School is committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of its pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at Lambrook."
This stringent approach is something that will certainly put The Princess of Wales' mind at ease as she left her first school because she was being bullied.
Kate first attended Downe House School in Berkshire and later moved to Marlborough College in Wiltshire where she thrived and was very popular. A friend at her new school revealed to the Daily Mail, "Apparently she had been bullied very badly and she certainly looked thin and pale. She had very little confidence."
