Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, are all starting at Lambrook School, in Ascot, Berkshire, after the Kate and William’s recent move to Windsor.
For Louis, in summer uniform, it was his very first day at school. His older siblings earlier attended Thomas’s Battersea in London.
On the settling-in day, the duke referred to his children as “all the gang”, ushering them up the steps of the £13,000-a-year private school.
Headmaster Jonathan Perry was on hand to greet greeted the young royals, shaking each of them by the hand and saying it was “lovely to have you with us”.
Asked if they were excited, all three replied “yes” and Prince William said they were “all looking forward to it” and had “lots of questions”.
The royal siblings showed no obvious signs of nerves as they walked confidently into Lambrook in the sunshine holding their parents’ hands.
As the royal family entered the school in front of two cameras, they were seen laughing and Prince William was noticed stroking Prince Louis’ hair reassuringly.
Annual fees for all three children will be close to £55,000 at the privileged institution.
The school comprises 52 acres of Berkshire countryside close to Ascot Racecourse. It has a nine-hole golf course and swimming pool as well as bees, chickens and pigs for pupils to look after.
Earlier, a single photographer and one TV camera filmed the Cambridge family as they arrived at Lambrook. The footage was then shared across a number of media organisations.
Lambrook has some royal history with two of Queen Victoria’s grandsons, Prince Christian Victor and Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, having studied here.
