The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to take a deeply practical role in their children’s school life, balancing royal duties with routines that feel strikingly ordinary. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all attend Lambrook School in Berkshire, where their parents are described as active and present. According to Hello Magazine, a new report says Prince William and Princess Kate are heavily involved in day-to-day school matters, from parents’ WhatsApp chats to turning up for swimming galas and sports fixtures on the sidelines.

Prince William and Princess Kate Stay Close to School Routines
That picture of involvement goes beyond appearances at major milestones. A palace source described Princess Kate as the kind of parent other families rely on during a hectic school day, underlining how integrated the couple are in the school community. The report suggests their approach has helped create a stable rhythm for their children away from formal public duties. It also fits with the family’s move to Windsor, where Adelaide Cottage has offered a base closer to school and more room for a private routine built around the children.
Jason Knauf Shares the Couple’s Family Priority
Their former press secretary Jason Knauf offered a clear insight into that goal while speaking about the family’s long-term plans. "The priority for everyone, set by them together, was 'We need to be able to establish a rhythm so we can have as much normal family time with our children as possible'," said Jason Knauf according to Hello Magazine. His comments point to a deliberate effort by William and Kate to shape royal life around school runs, weekends and time outdoors, rather than allowing public demands to define every part of family life.
Prince William Confirms a Strict No-Phones Rule
That focus on structure also extends inside the home. During an appearance with Eugene Levy for Apple TV’s The Reluctant Traveler in February 2025, Prince William said his children "have any phones," while adding that he and Catherine are "very strict about" it. The remark offered a rare glimpse into household rules for George, Charlotte and Louis. It also echoed the active upbringing Princess Kate experienced in Berkshire, where outdoor play, family trips and close sibling bonds were central parts of childhood.
Prince George’s Next School Decision Draws Attention
Another major family decision is now approaching as Prince George prepares for secondary education in September. Eton and Marlborough are among the schools widely discussed, though no final choice has been confirmed. As reported by Hello Magazine, school expert Melanie Sanderson said the couple may even be holding more than one place while they weigh the options. With George turning 12, the choice matters not only for his education but also for how the Wales family continues to protect the balance they have worked hard to build.
