Only time will tell where Prince George and his siblings will be educated. A nursery school close to Kensington Palace is a likely choice but depending upon how much time the Cambridges spend in Norfolk, a local school near Amner Hall may be another option.

William's Early Education 

William's father Prince Charles was first schooled by a governess at Buckingham Palace but Diana broke the mould by sending their boys to a nursery school in West London.

The Princess of Wales was keen to ensure her children were exposed to other children from an early age. Mrs Mynors Nursery School in Chepstow Villas, Notting Hill was chosen and William attended the school for a period of 15 months from 24th September, 1985.

The school had 36 pupils split into either the cygnets, little swans or big swans classes. William being in the youngest group was a cygnet.


Mrs Mynors nursery school was based on the Montessori teaching principles. Diana was familiar with these methods as she was an assistant at another Montessori nursery, The Young England Kindergarten in Pimlico when she met Prince Charles. 

Regardless of which school is chosen, the young Cambridges won't have to worry about being on long waiting lists for place!
