The two-year-old, fourth-in-line to the British
throne behind her father, whose official title is Duke of
Cambridge, her elder brother George and grandfather Prince
Charles, will attend the Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington.
"We are delighted that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have
chosen the Willcocks Nursery School for Princess Charlotte," the
school said in a statement. "We look forward to welcoming
Charlotte to our nursery in January."
On its website the school, rated as "outstanding" by government
inspectors, describes itself as traditional, saying it "strives
to maintain its ethos for high standards, excellence and good
manners". Fees are 3,050 pounds ($4,072) per term for mornings
and 1,800 pounds for afternoons.
Unlike previous senior royals, Prince William attended nursery
school as a child.
His son George made the step up from nursery to primary school
in September when he began at Thomas's Battersea, a private
school in southwest London which is also close to the family's
Kensington Palace home.
As well as announcing news of Charlotte's new school, William
and Kate released a new portrait photograph of their family
which adorns their Christmas cards this year. Kate is pregnant
with the couple's third child with the new royal baby due in
April.
