WHEN it comes to the Royal family, nothing is done by halves, so it’s only natural that the three youngest members of the firm have enrolled at a school fit for Kings and Queens.
The royal couple today revealed that George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Louis have enrolled at the £7,000-a-term Lambrook School near Ascot, Berkshire.
George and Charlotte previously attended Thomas' School in Battersea, south London, while four-year-old Louis went to Willcocks Nursery in South Kensington, west London.
But after Wills and Kate moved the family from Apartment 1A Kensington Palace to four-bed Adelaide Cottage, George, nine, Charlotte, seven – who previously attended Thomas’s School in Battersea, London – and their younger brother Louis, four, will receive a top education together, complete with mandatory Saturday lessons.
If the royal youngsters attend full-time without boarding, it will cost the Cambridges an estimated £53,508 per year.
The private school is a nine-mile drive from their new abode near Windsor Castle, as they move to be closer to the Queen.
