Prince George may be a future King, but at school, the 11-year-old is treated the same as any other student.
While he spent his first few years of education at a school in London, the prince now attends Lambrook School in Windsor along with his siblings Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
As well as studying classic areas of the curriculum, including maths, science and English, the prince also takes part in lessons outside of the classroom, including litter-picking.
However, this served only to annoy George, who, like his dad, found the concept of people throwing rubbish on the ground frustrating.
When appearing on a BBC podcast in 2021, Prince William, 42, shared how his oldest son was left “annoyed” after a session of litter-picking with his school friends in London before the family relocated to Windsor.
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?”
Since then, William has given more insight into what school life looks like for the future King, including the fact he has started doing triathlons as a hobby. He is believed to take part in these at his school.
Princess Kate, 42, also spoke about George’s education last year when she revealed that the 10-year-old was starting to face the scary concept of exams.
During a visit to a Cardiff school last year, the future Queen spoke with students and revealed that George was getting fed up with being tested.
She said: “George is just at the beginning of being tested. He says: ‘Mummy, I keep getting tested all the time.’ But when it gets to A-levels you feel like you’re on it.”
The couple have spoken less about the education received by their younger children, who attend the same school as George.
