Prince George and Princess Charlotte were allowed to break rule at old school that others couldn't

They've moved on to pastures new now, but when Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended Thomas's Battersea, their old school in London, they were largely treated like the other pupils. Although they are third and fourth in line to the throne respectively, George and Charlotte were not on the receiving end of any special treatment during their time at the school.

When the pandemic reared its head, schools and educational institutions had to bring in coronavirus regulations, with many of them shutting down at first to then reopen with special measures in place, such as social distancing, to prevent the virus from spreading as much as possible. But while many parents waved their children goodbye from the front gates, rather than driving into school as per the school's rules, the young royals were allowed to carry on as normal, according to a royal expert.

Writing for Vanity Fair, Katie Nicholl said: "According to one parent, the school has installed numerous Covid prevention measures and parents now have to drop children at the school gates. The Cambridges, however, are still able to drive their children into the school grounds."
