Princess Kate has made a rare comment on Princess Charlotte's school routine as Catherine and William face a decision on Prince George's future education.

The Princess of Wales attended the St Patrick's Day parade on Monday at Wellington Barracks, where Major General Sir Chris Ghika and Lt Col Ben Irwin-Clark greeted the princess.


Kate met the officer's wives and other senior soldiers inside.

Ben's wife, Carice Irwin-Clark, spoke about bumping into Kate at school matches.

Carice told the Princess of Wales: "We so often see you at matches because our girls are always playing each other, they are Farleigh and Lambrook, so I think there's stiff competition."

Ben and Carice have a daughter in the same school year as Princess Charlotte.

Kate replied: "I was just saying, they're doing so much, sporting events."

Carice joked: "Now it's getting a bit warmer, it's a bit nicer for a spectator."

Princess Charlotte shares her parent's passion of sport, noticeably attending Wimbledon with her mother as Kate was undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

The nine-year-old's mother also spoke about her children's love of football during her recent outing.

Kate asked a young boy if he enjoyed football before sharing: "Our kiddies play football."

The three Wales children have all attended Lambrook School in Berkshire since September 2022, which educates pupils until the age of 13.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are looking for a new school to send Prince George, 11, as the Princess of Wales is said to be reluctant to send her son to an all-boys school like Eton.

Prince William and Prince Harry went to the Windsor boarding school together during their early education.

However, the future King and Queen are tipped to send their eldest son to Marlborough College, where Princess Kate attended, but it is understood no official decision has been made.

Prince George and his parents have visited Marlborough College previously, where a place costs £47,000 a year.
