UK's Princess Charlotte to start school in September

By The Associated Press May 24, 2019 at 7:18am

LONDON (AP) — The first day of school can be stressful but Princess Charlotte will have her older brother there to lean on.

Kensington Palace said Friday that 4-year-old Charlotte will join her brother Prince George at Thomas’s Battersea School in London in September. The fee-paying school has 560 students between the ages of 4 and 13 and seeks to produce “caring citizens of the world,” according to its website.

Headmaster Simon O’Malley said the school is “delighted” that Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, have chosen their school for Charlotte.

O’Malley said “we greatly look forward to welcoming her and all of our new pupils to the school in September.”
