Prince William disclosed that his son, Prince George, occasionally stays overnight at school and offered insights into their morning routine with his wife, Kate, and their three children.
During a radio interview on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, Prince William mentioned that he is not a morning person and typically handles the school run around that time.
He conveyed a message to his children, Charlotte and Louis, reminding them to be punctual and avoid disagreements over what to listen to in the morning as George was boarding the previous night.
Lambrook, a private preparatory school catering to children aged 3-13, provides flexible boarding options for students aged 7-13, allowing them to stay from five nights a week to occasional overnight stays. The school has separate boarding houses for boys and girls, each supervised by a house parent and supported by tutors.
While it was previously believed that George and his siblings were day pupils, it is now known that George, who will turn 13 in July, sometimes boards at Lambrook. He is set to transition to secondary school in September, with potential options including Eton, where full-time boarding is common.
Prince William also touched on the morning chaos of the school run, mentioning the logistics of managing music lessons, boarding arrangements, and social engagements. He humorously shared how his youngest, Louis, leaves jam fingerprints in the car, adding to the morning hustle.
In discussing Kate’s recent trip to Italy advocating for early childhood development, Prince William praised her dedication and expertise in the field. He expressed pride in her accomplishments and emphasized the importance of ensuring she takes care of herself amid her return to public engagements following health challenges.
The Duke of Cambridge made these remarks during a live interview from the Isles of Scilly, where he later visited a local hospital to engage with staff, patients, and inaugurate a new medical facility. William highlighted Kate’s commitment to research and advocacy in the early childhood sector, showcasing her passion and expertise in the field.
