As the Christmas break comes to an end, children across the country are returning to school, excited to reunite with their classmates.

This includes the young members of the royal family, who are also settling back into their school routine at Lambrick School.

However, unlike most children their age, Princess Charlotte and Prince George are not allowed to have a best friend.

During their time at Thomson’s Battersea, the school implemented special rules to ensure that no child feels left out.

In fact, the school actively discourages the formation of best friendships and instead encourages all students to get along with everyone.

The ethos of the school revolves around kindness, with signs everywhere reminding students to “Be Kind.”

Lambrick School is renowned for its emphasis on fostering a caring environment and providing exceptional pastoral care.

One of the notable policies at the school is regarding birthday parties.

If a child decides to have a party, they must invite every classmate.

Invitations are not distributed within the class to avoid excluding anyone.

This inclusive approach aims to create a sense of belonging for all students.

Interestingly, it’s not just the royal children who are expected to befriend everyone.

The parents, including Catherine and William, are encouraged to actively participate in school activities.

This level of involvement explains why the Duke and Duchess of Wales are often seen dropping off their children at school.

While close friendships are important for a child’s development, the benefits of having a best friend may vary depending on the individual’s personality.

Princess Charlotte seems to be doing just fine, as she already has two built-in best friends at home: Prince George and Prince Louis.

On Charlotte’s first day at Lambrick School, her mother, Catherine, offered words of encouragement, assuring her that George would guide her.

According to a source, George takes on a protective role towards his younger sister at Thomas’s Battersea, where he is currently in year four.

George’s caring nature and willingness to show his sister the ropes have earned him praise as a loving older brother.

Lambrick School, with an annual fee of £18,915, instills its motto of “Be Kind” in its students.

The school focuses on teaching values such as kindness, courtesy, honesty, respect, perseverance, independence, confidence, leadership, humility, and generosity.

These values align with the charity work that the young royals will be expected to undertake as they grow older, making Lambrick School an ideal environment for them.

It is worth noting that the royal children are not referred to by their official titles within the school.

Instead, they are known simply as George Whales, Charlotte Whales, and Louis Whales, using their parents’ title as a surname.

This practice deviates from the traditional use of royal titles and surnames.

Previously, George, Charlotte, and Louis were known as George Cambridge, Charlotte Cambridge, and Louis Cambridge, respectively, before their parents assumed new roles and titles following Queen Elizabeth II’s passing.

In a similar vein, Prince William and Prince Harry adopted their father’s formal title, Charles, as their surname during their school years.

The constant back and forth between last names adds an interesting dynamic to their identities.

One cannot help but wonder if George’s best friend, Flambrooke, used an equally endearing nickname for him during their time at Thomas’s Battersea.

According to previous reports, George was referred to as P.G., short for Prince George, which served as a shorter alternative to his official title, George Alexander Louis, His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales.

Regardless, it is refreshing to see that at school, the royal children are simply known as George, Charlotte, and Louis, allowing them to experience a break from being some of the most famous royal children in the world.
