Kate Middleton reveals tricky skill Prince George is learning at school – and she’s having to help
PRINCE George has started a new school this year and has been tasked with learning a new skill, according to Kate Middleton.
As part of the uniform dress code at the £7,000-a-term Lambrook School near Ascot, Berkshire, the young prince needs to wear a tie for the first time.
The Princess of Wales let slip during a visit to Wales this week that she’s been giving him a helping hand with the tricky process.
Speaking to children near Holyhead RNLI station, Kate spoke to four-year-old Theo Crompton and pointed out his tie.
She asked the child: “Do you tie your own tie?” to which he confirmed he did.
The royal mum-of-three responded: “Well done you. I’ve been teaching George because he has got to wear a tie now for school, so I’m having to teach him how to do it.

“But well done, you’ve done a good job with your tie. Nice to meet you.”
George, nine, and Charlotte, seven, previously attended Thomas’ School in Battersea, south London, while four-year-old Louis went to Willcocks Nursery in South Kensington, west London.
But after Wills and Kate moved the family from Apartment 1A Kensington Palace to four-bed Adelaide Cottage, George and Charlotte and their younger brother Louis will receive a top education together, complete with mandatory Saturday lessons.
If the royal youngsters attend full-time without boarding, it will cost William and Kate an estimated £53,508 per year.
