George, 4, was taken by his father, Prince
William, from their Kensington Palace home to Thomas's Battersea
school in southwest London, which says its most important rule
is to "Be Kind" and charges almost 18,000 pounds ($23,490) per
pupil per year.
"We expect our pupils to make impressive progress as a result of
their own hard work, the best efforts of their teachers, the
judicious support of their parents and the encouragement of
their peers," the school says on its website.
A nervous-looking George, wearing a school uniform of dark
shorts and a navy jumper with red trim, held his father's hand
as the Head of Lower School, Helen Haslem, escorted the royal
duo to his classroom.
His mother Kate missed the occasion due to acute morning
sickness and has canceled other engagements this week after the
palace announced on Monday that she was expecting her third
child.
Like his parents, George and his younger sister Charlotte have
already appeared on the front covers of magazines around the
world and this summer they traveled on official royal tours of
Poland and Germany where crowds cheered them.
