Princess Charlotte starts nursery school

Britain's Princess Charlotte, currently still the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, started attending nursery school on Monday.

The almost three-year-old royal was all smiles as she walked out of her home, wearing a red coat, red buckle shoes, and pink scarf, while carrying a pink backpack.

The two images were courtesy of her proud mother, Kate Middleton, who took the photos before the little princess went to school. It was later posted by Kensington Palace on social media, and captioned with, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte at Kensington Palace this morning."

It was earlier announced that Princess Charlotte is attending the very exclusive Willcocks Nursery School, a private school in west London. It is strategically located just a short walk from Kensington Palace.

Dubbed as "outstanding" at an official inspection in 2012, the nursery was founded in 1964 and is housed in a church hall.

Princess Charlotte is bound to get a lot of attention here, where one teacher is allotted a maximum of eight students only. According to reports, the young princess will be taught literacy, mathematics, expressive arts, and design.

In a span of three-hour classes daily, Princess Charlotte will be involved in various interactive activities, like cooking, painting, music, poetry, story time, and of course, playtime.

The two-year-old royal should be able to learn a lot. After all, a three-month term at Willcocks Nursery School costs some £3,050 or $4,127.

Princess Charlotte's first day in nursery comes just a few months since her older brother, four-year-old Prince George, started school at Thomas's Battersea, an £18,000-a-year preparatory school in London.

His father, Prince William, nervously accompanied him on his first day last September. The Duchess of Cambridge could not make it out due to hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe case of morning sickness, which she also experienced while carrying her two older children. She is expected to give birth to their third child in April.
