Princess Charlotte is now able to attend school in London at Thomas's Battersea, but according to a royal expert she is unlikely to go back just yet.

Thomas’s Battersea has started a phased reopening of the primary school, meaning her older brother Prince George is not yet able to attend.

The family of five is currently staying at their Amner Hall in the countryside of Norfolk, where Kate Middleton and Prince William are homeschooling their children.

According to royal biographer Katie Nicholl, it is currently too difficult for the family to commute to London for Charlotte to attend classes while George is being homeschooled.

Nicholl told 9Honey: “[Charlotte being in school] would mean moving back to London for the sake of sending one child back to school and possibly, logistically with everything else they're juggling in terms of official duties, it might just be too challenging and that may be why they decided not to do it.”

The biographer believes that once George is able to start attending school again the family will make the move back to London so that their eldest children can be around their friends again.

She explained that if the school does open to George’s year they would most likely go back in September.

Nicholl added that she doesn’t believe Kate and William would make a big show of their children returning back to school, stating that it would “just be too disruptive” to do so.

“If they go back — and it is an if — I would imagine it would be kept pretty low key... it will be done quietly and below the radar for obvious reasons,” Nicholl said.
