Your first day at a new school is always memorable, whether you skipped in happily or hung back tearfully. And this September brings with it that rite of passage for all three Cambridge children as they find their feet at their new school, Lambrook in Berkshire.
A spokesperson for William and Kate confirmed last week, “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have today announced that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will attend Lambrook School in Berkshire from September 2022. Their Royal Highnesses are hugely grateful to Thomas’s Battersea where George and Charlotte had have a happy start to their education since 2017 and 2019 respectively. and are pleased to have found a school for all three of their children which shares a similar ethos and values to Thomas’s.”
While £6,000-a-term Lambrook is undoubtedly upper middle class, with 42 acres of cricket, football and rugby pitches, a golf course and a £6 million art and design building, it’s worlds away from the stiff upper lip, singlesex public schools that would traditionally be favoured by the royal family. “It’s posh but not stuffy,” royal expert Jennie Bond exclusively tells OK! “Upper middle class but not aristocratic,” she adds.
The fact that Lambrook is co-educational and just 15 minutes away from the duke and duchess’ new home, Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate, is thought to have been a major factor in William and Kate’s decision-making process.
