Princess Charlotte to join brother Prince George at Thomas's Battersea for school

Princess Charlotte is following in her brother's footsteps.

Kensington Palace announced Friday that the royal tot will start school in September, joining Prince George at Thomas's Battersea in South London.

“We are delighted that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided that Princess Charlotte will join her elder brother, Prince George, at Thomas’s Battersea,” said Headmaster Simon O’Malley. "We greatly look forward to welcoming her and all of our new pupils to the school in September.”

Charlotte, who turned four-years-old on May 2nd, was previously attending Willcocks Nursery School, close to the family's home at Kensington Palace.

The decision for Prince George, and now Charlotte, to begin attending Thomas's Battersea in September 2017 was seen as a very "unconventional choice" for the Cambridges, who chose to forgo the elite and traditional "Eton-style feeder" many royals have attended in the past.

The $23,000-a-year private school is housed in an "aspirational area" of the city and introduces its students to a spectrum of classes, including art, dance and foreign languages. The school also emphasizes social responsibility, kindness, courtesy and confidence as its core values.

According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are frequently spotted at the school during morning drop offs. George, who "loves" dancing like his sister, has even earned himself a nickname from his peers: P.G.

"He's very popular and has a lot of friends, and there's very little fuss made about who he is," said a parent at the school, according to Town and Country. The 5-year-old has yet to learn of his future as king, but until then, he's just a regular kid.
