Prince Louis, two, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince George, seven, have been spending lockdown in Norfolk with their parents Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 39, and Prince William, 38. The Cambridge family left their London base ahead of Christmas and have been based in the countryside at Anmer Hall ever since.

Prince William and Kate made Kensington Palace their main home ahead of Prince George starting primary school and now both he and Princess Charlotte are pupils at Thomas’s Battersea, a short drive from the palace.

Thomas’s Battersea is expected to reopen its doors to students on March 8 in keeping with Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s proposed roadmap out of lockdown.

All schools in England are due to reopen on Monday and George and Charlotte may be keen to get back to class after months at home.

Mr Johnson told MPs on February 22: “All the evidence shows that classrooms are the best places for our young people to be and that’s why I’ve always said that schools would be the last to close and the first to reopen.”

Breakfast and after-school clubs can also reopen, and other children’s activities including sport can restart “where necessary to help parents to work”.

However, while George and Charlotte may be itching to get back to school their return to the classroom could mean little Louis misses out as he will be the only Cambridge tot at home during the day time.

Louis may have been enjoying having extra playtime with his siblings since Christmas but will now have to get used to being just him and mum Kate again.

Kate and William are known to fit doing the school run around their royal schedules.

When will Prince Louis start school?

Kensington Palace has not confirmed when Prince Louis will start school but is understood the young royal may have been due to start nursery in January.

His entrance into education is believed to have been stalled amid the pandemic with schools across the country staying closed.

Addressing when little Louis might join his siblings at school, royal expert and commentator Emily Andrews tweeted last year: “He won’t start school until the academic year after he’s turned four: so Sept 2022.”

According to Ms Andrews, Louis is expected to follow in his sister Princess Charlotte’s footsteps and attend Willcocks Nursery.

The expert added: “He may start nursery before then.

“Charlotte went to a local one, Willcocks Nursery near to KP when she was nearly three.

“So perhaps sometime early next year.”

Kate and William have been charged with teaching George and Charlotte since the start of the year and have previously opened up about their lockdown struggles.

Last year the Duchess revealed Prince Goerge would sometimes get jealous of his little sister’s homework.

Kate told This Morning: “George gets very upset because he wants to do Charlotte’s projects.

“Because making things like spider sandwiches is far cooler than doing literacy work!”
