The Princess of Wales previously revealed Prince George’s passion for earth science during a call with one of the entrants of the Hold Still photography project back in 2020.
Discussing the project, which was launched during the summer of 2020 for people from across the country to submit photos of their experience during the coronavirus pandemic, the royal spoke to finalist Ceri Edwards and her daughter Poppy.
Speaking of her call with Kate, Ceri told HELLO! that the 42-year-old spoke of George’s passion, which is very sophisticated for a child of his age.
She told the publication: “The Duchess was so down-to-earth and was so wonderful with Poppy.
“We talked about Poppy and Prince George being in the same school year [three] and their current school topics [Poppy’s is Brazil and Beyond and George’s is The Active World – Volcanoes]. It was a very special day and something we treasured and will always remember.”
While he spent his first few years of education at a school in London, the 11-year-old now attends Lambrook School in Windsor along with his sister Princess Charlotte, 9, and brother Prince Louis, 6.
As well as the typical classes – such as maths and science – George also took part in lessons outside of the classroom, including litter-picking. This is something that is said to have left the young royal frustrated.
When appearing on a BBC podcast in 2021, his dad Prince William said: “So George at school recently has been doing litter picking and I didn’t realise but talking to him the other day he was already showing that he was getting a bit confused and a bit sort of annoyed by the fact they went out litter picking one day and then the very next day they did the same route, same time and pretty much all the same litter they picked up back again.
“And I think that for him he was trying to understand how and where it all came from. He couldn’t understand; he’s like, ‘Well, we cleaned this. Why has it not gone away?”
Although he is at the age most children started secondary school back in September, the young royal remains at Lambrook School with his siblings.
Lambrook School caters for children aged three to 13 – meaning that George will remain at the school until summer 2027.
Although his future as king is certain, his education journey after Lambrook remains unknown, with speculation over whether he will follow in his father’s footsteps and attend Eton.
