Prince Charles comments on Prince George's first day of school

Prince Charles has commented on Prince George’s first day at school.

Prince George started at his new school on Thursday.

While speaking to ITV News about Prince George’s first day at school, Prince Charles joked when asked if he had any advice for the young prince. He said “Course not! He wouldn’t take it from me at that age.”

Prince Charles said that at “that age you don’t worry quite so much about going to school than when you get a bit older.”

Prince George looked nervous as he walked into the grounds of his new school. The Duchess of Cambridge wasn’t there to be with him as she is suffering from morning sickness. This follows the announcement that the Duke and Duchess are expecting their third child.

Prince Charles, talking about Prince George, said: “Poor old thing. He’s been left there to have to get on with it. When the parents go away is always the problem.”

He said that he would be “interested to hear how he get on.”

He also added “It’s good for you, in the end, I suppose. It’s character building.”

Speaking later on in the day, the Duke of Cambridge said that Prince George had a “good day” and that it was a “nice school”, Prince William joked that he was pleased that another parent had problems and that it was not just him.

Prince George is attending Thomas’s Battersea, a private school which is just a 30-minute drive from Kensington Palace.

The school costs a massive £17,604 a year. However, this is likely to come out of the Duchy of Cornwall rather than from the tax payer.

The Duchy of Cornwall is a collection of investments of land. Prince Charles voluntarily pays tax on the Duchy income which in turns supports the Prince of Wales and his family.

Prince William Says: Fatherhood Made Me More Emotional

Prince William has confessed that fatherhood has made him "weirdly" emotional and prone to welling up.

Princess William is the proud father of two small children - Prince George and Princess Charlotte - and revealed during a documentary about his father's Prince's Trust charity that becoming a parent has made him more aware of how "precious life is".

Prince William said "I'm a lot more emotional than I used to be. I never used to really kind of get too wound up or worried about things but now the smallest little things can get - I can feel - you well up a little bit more. "And you get affected by things that happen around the world or whatever a lot more I think as a father. Just because you realise how precious life is.".

"Now the smallest little things, you well up a little more, you get affected by the sort of things that happen around the world or whatever a lot more, I think, as a father," he said.

He added: "I remember my mother and father taking us to charities and organisations and showing us, you know, what - what goes on. And I think it's seeing - seeing such a broad spectrum of life, it's really important from a young age, to give you a bit of perspective…you don't just live in a palace, it's very important you get out and you see what goes on in the real world."

Princess Harry said he enjoyed living next door to William and Kate at Kensington Palace. "I can always hear the wheels of those plastic tractors that George loves playing on," he said.

He described their London base, where the royal brothers were also brought up by Charles and Diana, as a "giant playground", adding: "It's really nice to be able to live next to each other and be neighbours."

Ant and Dec, both long-term ambassadors for The Prince's Trust, were given unprecedented access to Clarence House, St James's Palace and Kensington Palace for the 90-minute documentary, to be aired on ITV tomorrow night.
