As the school holidays are nearing an end, many parents will be considering buying new uniforms for their children ahead of the autumn term.
And the Princess of Wales is no exception as she prepares for her three children – George, 10, Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5 – to head back to the classroom at their prep school Lambrook in Berkshire.
Kate will no doubt be at the forefront of sourcing school supplies. Hopefully, it will go more smoothly than her shoe shopping experience with her children in 2018.
According to Hello, while visiting the Peter Jones store in London, Kate made a very relatable blunder when she forgot to bring an essential item: socks.
Sources told the magazine that the duchess was forced to borrow a pair of socks from store staff in order for George, then five and Charlotte, then three, to try on smart new back to school shoes.

Kate and William enrolled their children at the Lambrook School in Ascot, Berkshire, last year.
Their new, exclusive school is nine miles from Adelaide Cottage, where the family of five currently resides.
Its extensive 52-acre grounds boast an orchard, woodland, nine-hole golf course, 25-metre swimming pool and cricket pitch.
Pupils are encouraged to try their hand at chess, polo, lifesaving, songwriting, scuba diving and beekeeping.
Fees cost £4,389 a term for Reception to Year 2 pupils such as Louis, £6,448 per term for Years 3-4 like Charlotte, and £6,999 per term for George through Years 5-8, with an additional £1,481 per term for boarding for Y3-8.
Famous alumni include the actor Alex Pettyfer, the sons of wartime Prime Minister Herbert Asquith and entrepreneur Giles Clarke, who founded Majestic Wine.
Previously, George and Charlotte attended Thomas’s School in Battersea, South London, while Louis went to Willcocks Nursery in South Kensington, West London.
However, Prince George may not be a student for long as last year he was spotted touring Eton College, with his parents, where fees cost £46k a year.
It is said that the future King will follow in his father’s footsteps by joining the prestigious school when he turns 13.
Due to high demand, prospective students must register their interest three years in advance.
In a photo of the meeting shared on social media by royal fans, little George was wearing navy shorts, a short-sleeved shirt and black shoes while standing next to his father. He was also educated at the prestigious boarding school in Berkshire.
According to Hello, the Wales children, who were wearing summer sandals at the time, borrowed socks from the department store to determine whether their new shoes were the correct fit
During their visit, Kate, immaculately clad in a Cefinn dress and Camilla Elphick flats, was seen chatting to two employees.
The trio stood with a man and a woman, who appeared to be staff members at Eton College, and chatted outside, while standing next to a sign which reads: ‘The Porter’s Lodge’ – and another ‘no entry’ sign.
William was the first senior royal to attend Eton, followed by his brother Harry, who was educated there between 1998 and 2003.
It is one of three public schools to have remained boys only, alongside Harrow and Radley, and counts 20 British Prime Ministers, including Boris Johnson and David Cameron, along with its alumni.
In just a few weeks, the Prince and Princess of Wales will lead the tributes to Queen Elizabeth II on the anniversary of her death, according to reports.
William and Kate will deliver a message to the British people about honouring the legacy of the late monarch and cast their gaze ‘forward’ to the future, a source told the Mirror.
The final details for the address are still being worked out, with decisions set to be made on whether it will made in person, on television or via social media, it is understood.
A royal source said: ‘Her Majesty’s passing was an event that truly signified the end of an era.
‘The Royal Family has been in transition since then and following the Coronation and conclusion of the summer holidays, there will be an expectation to see what is next.’
King Charles is reportedly set to take a step back for the commemoration and will be spending his time ‘quietly and privately’ at Balmoral in Scotland, where the Queen passed away on September 8 last year at the age of 96.
