Growing up, many of us did not have awesome and adorable experience as a child going to school. Especially those of us from Africa, as some, their parents could not afford to send them to school; talk more of having awesome experience. Some of us went to school bare foot, without school bag, without school uniform etc. However, the case is not always the same in Europe and America. And for Prince George the case is entirely different.
A summer that was full of portraits and travel is over as Prince George started his first day of school at Thomas’s Battersea school in London on Thursday. The 4-year-old arrived at school with his uniform, backpack and father Prince William in tow. The two were greeted by Helen Haslem, head of the lower school. Their meeting blessed the masses with this teeny, tiny handshake.

Sadly, the Duchess of
Cambridge, who is pregnant with the couple’s third child, was not able to be
there. The former Kate Middleton is currently suffering from Hyperemesis
Gravidarum, or severe morning sickness, with which she also dealt during her
first two pregnancies. It has already caused her to cancel two public
engagements.
“We need Catherine to
get over this first bit and then we can start celebrating,” William said at a
mental health conference in Oxford on Tuesday. “It’s always a bit anxious to
start with, but she’s well.” Kensington Palace
shared photos and a video of the father and son, as well as flashback photos of
William and Prince Harry starting their own first days of school.
Fans have been waiting
for this moment since the palace announced in March 2017 that George would
attend the school, which describes itself as “a busy, thriving, purposeful
school.” But if you think he’s
going to get special treatment, think again. “We are going to try
and make this a really happy, safe and secure time,” Ben Thomas, principal of
Thomas’s London Day Schools, told BBC. “I hope he will have the confidence to
be himself with all his quirks and his idiosyncrasies and characteristics ―
that’s what I would want for all of our children.”
Happy first day of
school, George!
