George and nursery - a relatively new Royal tradition
- Published
Prince George is continuing a royal tradition, but not one that is long established.
The Queen was educated at home and relied on her nanny, Crawfie, to take her on educational trips - including a journey on the London tube.
Prince Charles did go to school, but his nursery was a palace room containing a blackboard, a desk and a governess.
It was at his mother's insistence that Prince William was exposed to children of his own age when he started at Mrs Mynors' school.
The early learning at the Westacre Montessori School was rated good by Ofsted in June
His arrival there, on his first day at the age of three, was recorded by dozens of photographers and camera crews.
William will want to ensure George doesn't have the same reception.
The prince's education, over the next two decades, is likely to be in the private sector.
The day when a future king receives such an education - in the same way as the majority of the population who attend state schools - is still some way off.
