Princess Charlotte is still in Norfolk, where she is staying with her mum and dad, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis at their country home, Anmer Hall. Charlotte and George both attend the Thomas’s School in Battersea, south London. The princess is in Reception and George is in year two.

Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers told Good Morning Britain the whole country “would be watching” to see if the royal children go back to school.

Mr Myers said: “I think is very, very interesting and certainly the whole country will be watching this.

“The issue is the different ages of the children, who have been holed up in Anmer Hall in Norfolk with their mum and dad.

“Essentially Princess Charlotte would have to go back to school under the Government guidelines on Monday.

“But the Cambridges are considering keeping the children together and I think a lot of parents who have been homeschooling over the last few weeks will have this conundrum to solve themselves.”

Mr Myers suggested whatever decision the family took, it would “send a message” to the Government.

Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge have always been open about the realities of homeschooling.

The Prince, 37, also told carers on a phone call that “children don’t understand social distancing” which may be a hint at what he is thinking as they grapple with the decision of sending their daughter back.

Princess Charlotte, however, is not the only royal to be going back to school tomorrow.

Zara and Mike Tindall have confirmed they will send their daughter Mia, 6, who is in Reception like her cousin Charlotte, back to school on June 1.

Speaking about life in lockdown at the Gatcombe estate in Gloucestershire, Mr Tindall said homeschooling his six-year-old was “nice but also frustrating”.

Mr Tindall told the Telegraph: “Zara still has hopes that the horses will get back, they still need training and working on, so I get to be a teacher in the mornings which is sometimes really nice, sometimes really frustrating.

“I don’t think any child is a great home schooler because they definitely listen to other people better than they listen to their parents.

“Mia enjoyed it the first week because it was different being around mum and dad all the time.

“But ultimately it’s the same people who are telling her off or telling her what to do and I think she gets bored of that.”

The dad-of-two further admitted him and Ms Tindall were keeping a close eye on the situation before making a final decision.

Mr and Mrs Tindall have always defended their decision not to follow royal tradition and send their children to boarding school.

Mrs Tindall went to the Beaudesert Park School in Minchinhampton as a child.

Mr Tindall told the Daily Mail: “I’m certainly not keen on sending Mia away to a boarding school at the other end of the country.

“I know many people who say boarding was the making of them because they forget great independence from their parents, but I don’t really want her to be distanced from us.

“Personally, I’d rather she attend a school that’s nearby, where we’ll always be on hand if she needs us. Anything else goes against my instincts.”
