Charlotte will attend the structured morning classes and will be introduced to alphabet, numeracy as well as art and crafts. Singing, poetry and free play also make up the timetable. Established in 1964, Willcocks is housed in the hall of Holy Trinity Church and takes children between 2 3/4 and 5 years.

The annual fees for Charlotte will be GBP 14550-.

As well as this long awaited news, the Cambridge family has released it's 2017 Christmas photo taken by Chris Jackson. It appears that the shot was taken in the Summer as George is wearing the same clothes as his birthday portrait and the Duchess had her pre-pregnancy figure.

Enjoy the photo!

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!
