As Prince William and Princess Catherine wrap up their summer break and dive into a whirlwind of royal duties, their focus shifts to a new and exciting chapter for their children.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have officially started their first day at Lambrook School, a prestigious educational institution nestled near Windsor.

The family’s transition was marked by a heartfelt settling-in afternoon, during which they were warmly greeted by Headmaster Jonathan Perry.

The royal children’s eagerness to explore their new school was evident, with numerous questions about their upcoming experiences reflecting their excitement and curiosity.

However, the start of this new school year brings a notable challenge. Kensington Palace has disclosed that a 20% increase in school fees, attributed to new VAT regulations, will see the annual cost for the royal children soar to approximately £79,300. This significant hike has raised concerns among parents at Lambrook, casting a shadow over the otherwise joyful start of the academic year for the young royals.

As the family navigates these changes, their commitment to providing the best education for their children remains steadfast, even in the face of rising costs.
