Prince George may be used to being the most famous kid at his school, but now he isn't the only one, as another royal also attends Thomas's Battersea Prep School.
According to The Mirror, Maud Windsor — the eldest daughter of Lord Frederick Windsor — is in the same grade as George. (Lord Frederick's dad is Prince Michael of Kent, the Queen's cousin.)
Meanwhile, Maud's mother, Sophie Winkleman, a.k.a. Lady Frederick Windsor, has an impressive résumé, as she is a British actress!
Maud was born just one month after George and is 42nd in line to the throne.
George — who turned eight on July 22 — tries to keep his social status on the down low, so he goes by the name George Cambridge.
The nickname comes from Prince William and Kate Middleton's titles — the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — as kings and princes usually take their last names from their father's titles.
“He mixes with children his own age. Kate and William don’t shower him with expensive gifts nor do they over spoil him. Despite his future role, they don’t want him to grow up too quickly," a source said. "He engages [in] activities similar to any other 8-year-old — playing board games, horse-riding lessons, swimming, baking with his brother and sister, playing football and he can’t wait to start rugby too!”
Kate, 39, and William, 39, just want what is best for their little boy.
“Of course, William and Kate are nervous about what the future holds for George,” a source told Us Weekly. “He’s growing up in a different era to his parents. Times have changed since then. There wasn’t social media or internet trolls when William and Kate were children.”
“The Cambridges feel it’s necessary to shield George, Charlotte and Louis from the spotlight and have become cautious about the appearances [they] make,” the insider added. “Kate and William are being more selective about the events he attends.”
