It is a big day for the Wales family as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis return to school after half-term. According to Hello Magazine, the three children have been off since 23 October, with Prince George’s break carrying extra weight because he now boards at Eton College in Windsor. The 13-year-old has been spending time with Prince William and Princess Catherine at Forest Lodge, while Charlotte, 11, and Louis, eight, prepare to resume lessons at Lambrook School in Berkshire, where they stay at home during term time.
Prince George Starts Another Month at Eton
George’s holiday ended on Sunday after an extended two-week break from Eton. His return marks another stretch away from home as he settles into boarding life at the historic school. The change is a major one for the young royal, who only began there in September. Princess Catherine has previously spoken about the family shift. "I miss him all the time," Catherine told Hello Magazine. While Charlotte and Louis return to a more familiar day-school routine, George’s departure brings a different rhythm to family life at Windsor.
Prince William and George Shared a Football Trip
George made the most of his time off with a father-son outing to Spain last week. He joined Prince William for Aston Villa’s away match against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, wearing an Adidas tracksuit featuring the club crest. The pair watched from the stands as Villa fell 3-0. Their travel also drew attention after footage on social media appeared to show them boarding a British Airways commercial flight and flying economy. It was a rare public glimpse of George during the school break and showed a relaxed moment with his father.
Charlotte and Louis Return to Lambrook
While George heads back to boarding school, Charlotte and Louis are returning to Lambrook for the new week. Their routine is different, with both children living at home during term time. That means the family will still have two of the three children under one roof even as George returns to Eton. There may not be a long wait before the siblings are together again either. Eton’s calendar includes a "B" weekend from 21 to 22 November, followed by a short leave break from 28 to 30 November before the Christmas holidays begin in mid-December.
William and Catherine Marked Remembrance Weekend
The school return follows a solemn weekend for Prince William and Princess Catherine, who took part in national Remembrance events. On Saturday, they attended the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. On Sunday, they joined King Charles for the Cenotaph ceremony, where the nation observed a two-minute silence for those who died in conflict. William laid a wreath in military uniform, while Catherine watched from the central balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Their children did not attend, reflecting the couple’s effort to limit such formal public appearances while they are still young.
