Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte will all start at a new school in September following the Cambridge family's move to Windsor - and it's just as fancy as you would expect.
Prince William and Kate have decided to send their trio to Lambrook School - a co-educational Prep School for 615 boys and girls aged 3-13 set in 52 acres of countryside, which is just around the corner from their new home Adelaide Cottage. But it doesn't come cheap, and the fees for the three children could set them back more than £50,000 every year.
The school has its very own Orchard complete with bees, chickens, and even pigs. There is also woodland for the little ones to explore, a nine-hole golf course, a 25-metre swimming pool, a cricket pitch, squash courts and a dance studio.
Fees for the top school range between £4,000 to £7,000 per term depending on the age of the child.

George and Charlotte will move to Lambrook School after starting their education at Thomas's Battersea. Louis will join the Berkshire school's nursery class having finished Wilcocks Nursery in Kensington before the summer.
Lambrook, which dates back to 1860, has a royal connection as in 1878, two of Queen Victoria’s grandsons, Prince Christian Victor and Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, were pupils there. Queen Victoria used to travel from Windsor Castle to Lambrook to watch her grandsons in plays and cricket matches.
The school's website states: "We have a reputation for providing an outstanding education, raising the achievement levels and expectations of children of all abilities. Lambrook has been laying the foundations for its pupils’ futures. During their time with us, we give our pupils the ‘Feathers to Fly’ so that when they leave us, they will spread their wings and will take flight; leaving Lambrook as confident, happy, engaging, mature, considerate and thoughtful young adults who are outward looking global citizens."
The school, which has its Christian faith 'at the centre of its foundation', offers trips away for all year groups, and in the past year has taken students to Sweden, France, Italy, Iceland, Somerset, Dorset, South Africa, and the Isle of Wight.
Alongside a focus on sport, the school boasts a new £6m development that offers pupils a "remarkable environment" for Art, Design & Technology and the Performing Arts. They say past students have gone on to perform in London's West End.
To bag a place at Lambrook, the older siblings will have undertaken a formal assessment day. "During the day, the school will assess each child against a number of criteria that we believe are important to enable each child to flourish at Lambrook. These criteria include: academic ability, wider interests, character and general behaviour," the website states.
Jonathan Perry, headmaster at Lambrook School, said: “We are delighted that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will be joining us this coming September and very much look forward to welcoming the family, as well as all of our new pupils, to our school community.”
