Prince George,Princess CharlotteandPrince Louisare heading back to school — but without a public photo op.
AlthoughPrince WilliamandKate Middletonhave shared photos of their three children starting school in the past, it’s not expected that royal fans will see the adorable shots of George, 8, Charlotte, 6, and Louis, 3, each year. The couple has always made a point of treating school as a private area, so that their children can grow up in as pressure-free an atmosphere as possible.
Kate andPrince William, both 39, have shared photos in the past of big school milestones, including their kids' first day at new schools. This year,Prince GeorgeandPrincess Charlotteare continuing their studies at Thomas’s Battersea, not far from the family’s Kensington Palace home in London. Louis will return to Willcocks Nursery School, where hestarted preschoolin the spring.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis had plenty of summer fun before heading back to the classroom.Vanity Fairrecently reported that Kate and Prince Williamtook their children sailingoff the Norfolk coast last month. Their summer break also included a reportedtrip to Scotlandfor a visit toQueen Elizabethat her Balmoral estate.
For more than 150 years, the Scottish castle has served as a private retreat for the British royals. In the highlands, the royals normally like to entertain friends, hold dances, picnic and go on shooting parties — all the while battling the nibbling little flies that stalk the heather-covered mountain sides.
