Princess Charlotte was "not looking forward to sitting her exams", according to Prince William, who travelled abroad for various D-Day celebrations today.
The Prince of Wales disclosed that the nine-year-old was sitting exams at Lambrook School earlier this week.
Prince William fondly spoke about his nine-year-old daughter's exam worries to a young fan on Wednesday.
The prince, 41, was candid at a D-Day event in Portsmouth when a young girl asked about Princess Charlotte's whereabouts.

Showing his paternal side, Prince William bent down to talk directly to the girl, named Taylor, and explained: "Charlotte's at school, Charlotte's got exams."
He added: "Yes, she's got tests."
William then shared that his daughter, a pupil at Lambrook School in Berkshire along with Prince George and Prince Louis, "wasn't looking forward to it this morning".
The father-of-three crossed his fingers and continued: "Hopefully it's all gone well."
