Prince George and Princess Charlotte have extraordinary lives ahead of them as members of the Royal Family.
As third and fourth in line to the throne, the Cambridge kids are very different to their friends – but according to other parents at their school they’re just like everyone else as soon as that bell rings.
Both kids attend Thomas’s Battersea, with George in Year 2 and Charlotte starting in Reception last September.
Despite the initial excitement, Kate, William, George and Charlotte are apparently now just treated like everyone else at the school, and nobody gives them a second glance.
But that means George and Charlotte are reportedly not allowed to have best friend, just like the rest of the kids, in line with the school’s rules.
Speaking about the school on Loose Women, journalist Jane Moore explained why Charlotte won’t be allowed to have a ‘best friend’ at the school.
She said: “It’s a really great little school actually for the reasons I think that it really focuses on kindness, it’s a really big thing in that school and the pastoral care is amazing.
“There’s a policy that if your child is having a party, unless every child in the class is invited you don’t give out the invites in class, which I think is quite a good thing as you don’t feel excluded.
“There are signs everywhere saying be kind, that’s the ethos of the school. They don’t encourage you to have best friends.”
Thomas’s offered a wide and varied curriculum , focusing on seven key areas of learning – Personal, social and emotional development, Communication and Language, Physical development, Literacy, Maths, Understanding the world and art and design.
The school’s website states: “We believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage is fundamental in instilling positive dispositions towards learning.
“In the Reception year children will play and explore; make choices and learn to have a go and persevere; be creative and solve problems; form good relationships; be safe, secure and happy.
“A stimulating environment, including a multisensory outdoor play area, supports the teachers’ planned activities and the children’s own initiatives for learning.”
As well as the traditional subjects, George and Charlotte will learn ballet, French and ICT. Students also learn about things like healthy eating during their first year at the school.
