Busy Week For George, Charlotte & Louis

Possible New School- Lambrook

 The Cambridge children returned to school and nursery after the Easter holidays almost two weeks ago. What a week it was!

The Duke and Duchess along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, attended the Easter Sunday church service in St. George's Chapel, Windsor. With Prince Louis, the family joined the Queen's grandchildren and great-grandchildren for the Easter weekend at Windsor Castle. 

The following week George and Charlotte returned to Thomas's Battersea and Louis to Willcock's Nursery for his last term. In September Louis will start formal schooling just like his big brother and sister. After school pick up one day, Catherine took her two eldest children for an icecream treat.

There are very strong rumours that the Cambridges will relocate from London to Berkshire and attend a school close to Windsor. Not much has been given away but Catherine and William have visited several schools in the area over recent months and 10 days ago George went for a trial day at an undisclosed Berkshire school. Lambrook School is one rumoured choice.

Whether George attends as a weekday boarder or all three Cambridge children attend this school is unknown.The Duchess grew up in Bucklebury, Berkshire where her parents still live. Prince William was a boarder at Ludgrove school in Berkshire from the age of 8 but as this is a boys only school it is an unlikely candidate. The Duke also attended Eton College right next to Windsor Castle. 

There are several available royal properties the family could move into in Great Windsor Park so there are many decisions to be made and put in place.

On Saturday 23rd Prince Louis celebrated his 4th birthday and it was lovely to see new photos released for the occasion.

The following day, Catherine and all three children were seen playing tennis at The Hurlingham Club in Chelsea, where the family has been seen previously.

Happy 11th wedding anniversary to the Duke and Duchess yesterday and next up we will celebrate Princess Charlotte's birthday on 2nd May.

Louis Birthday Portraits

 Here are new photos of Prince Louis to mark his 4th birthday 23rd April. The shots were taken by his mum Catherine during the recent school holidays near the family's country abode Anmer Hall in Norfolk. 

Happy birthday to the energetic young Louis!!

 

Happy 4th Birthday Prince Louis

 His Royal Highness Prince Louis Arthur Charles of Cambridge celebrates his 4th birthday on 23rd April. He was born in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in 2018 at 11:01am weighing 8lb 7oz.

Louis is the second son and third child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and is currently 5th in line to the British throne after his grandfather Prince Charles, dad Prince William and siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The prince has attended Willcock's Nursery School in Kensington for the past year and is expected to commence his formal schooling at Thomas's Battersea in September, joining his brother and sister. There have been rumours that the Cambridge children may move to a school near Windsor but no word has been given by Kensington Palace.

Apartment 1A Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall in Norfolk are the family's residences. Louis has spent half of his short life in one form of COVID restriction or another so we have missed opportunities to see the young prince at the 2020 and 2021 Trooping the Colour balcony appearances, watching polo matches and other events.

Here you will find a selection of pictures captured over the past four years. Happy birthday Prince Louis!!

Easter Weekend 2022

 The Cambridge family spent the Easter weekend at Windsor Castle as guests of HM The Queen. Prince William, The Duchess, Prince George and Princess Charlotte led members of the royal family at St. George's Chapel for the Easter Sunday service.

Prince Louis, who is is turning 4 on April 23, stayed behind at the Castle as he is too young to sit still for a formal outing.

The Queen also played host to:

* son Prince Edward his wife Sophie and children Louise & James

*granddaughters Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, Zara Tindall and grandson Peter Phillips and their families.

It was a wonderful opportunity for the younger generations to come together to celebrate The Queen's 96th birthday which fell yesterday and to enjoy each other's company after 2 years of COVID separations.

We have some photos of the Cambridges packing the car with puppy, children and bags with the help of nanny Maria. Maria was also photographed taking Louis for a walk a while earlier to run off some energy before the journey back to London.

And to round out this latest post, we have included a photo of George and Charlotte being treated to an icecream by mum Catherine after school this week ( top of page). I will never publish paparazzi images however I do believe this photo to be taken by a passing member of the public. 

Until tomorrow's post to mark Louis's 4th birthday......

Easter Church Service 2022

 The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with Prince George and Princess
Charlotte led members of the Royal Family for Easter Sunday service in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Prince Edward, Zara Tindall, Peter Phillips and Princess Eugenie attended as did various members of the next generation of royal children. In the absence of The Queen, Prince Charles and Princess Anne, the Cambridges were the most royals.

For all future engagements Her Majesty will be joined by another family member. However, it is to be assumed that she may or may not attend depending on her health and mobility on the day.  

Today seems to be a landmark moment as Prince William led the family on an a formal occasion. 

Charlotte, who seemed to take everything in her stride, looked pretty in a Rachel Riley smocked floral dress. 

 

Cambridges Hit The Slopes

 

Charlotte and George 2016

The Cambridge children are currently on school holidays and have been treated to a

ski holiday by their parents The Duke and Duchess.

While no official confirmation has been made, the family has been spotted in Courchevel in the French Alps where they previously holidayed in 2016. William and Catherine released photographs after they returned to London that time to satisfy public interest and this also ensured they enjoyed a private break.

Prince William and Catherine are avid skiers and were seen watching Prince George who is nearly 9 having ski lessons. No doubt Charlotte and Louis have been joining their big brother on the slopes.

It is rumoured that Catherine's sister Pippa, husband James Matthews and children Arthur and Grace were in Courchevel as well.

Let's hope we are able to see some official photos this time too, perhaps in time for Prince Louis' 4th birthday on April 23rd.
