The Prince of Wales provided a new update on his daughter, Princess Charlotte while participating in a walkabout at a D-Day event in Portsmouth on Wednesday.
Speaking to a young royal fan, Prince William explained: “Charlotte’s at school, Charlotte’s got exams.” He added: “Yes, she’s got tests – she wasn’t looking forward to it this morning.” However, just like any other parent, the royal dad-of-three crossed his fingers and said: “Hopefully it’s all gone well.”
Princess Charlotte and her two brothers, Prince George (ten) and six-year-old Prince Louis, attend Lambrook School in Berkshire. The family moved to Windsor in the summer of 2022 and quickly enrolled the children there.
However, the Wales family has faced challenges recently, with Princess Kate undergoing preventative chemotherapy. Her last public appearance was with the royal family on Christmas Day, and she likely misses being actively involved in her children’s daily lives as she continues her treatment.
In the meantime, Prince William has prioritized his family more than ever, balancing royal visits and engagements around the school day. Earlier this year, Majesty magazine’s Editor-in-Chief and royal author Ingrid Seward said that King Charles gave William his blessing to step back from work temporarily while Kate recovers post-surgery.
The monarch has allowed his son to be the family man he wants to be. “Charles always put duty first because that’s what his mother did,” Ingrid said on HELLO!’s A Right Royal Podcast.
“And that’s what Diana decided she wouldn’t do. I think Charles has encouraged William to spend more time with the family and also said to William, ‘I don’t want you to take on any royal duties until you absolutely have to’ because you remember we criticized William the work-shy? “
And that was his father very much saying, ‘You don’t have to do this, be with your young family. Enjoy it while you can. You’ve got years and years and years of royal duties to do.’
