The first day of school can be stressful but Princess Charlotte will have her older brother there to lean on.
Kensington Palace said Friday that 4-year-old Charlotte will join her brother Prince George, 5, at Thomas's Battersea School in London in September.
The fee-paying school has 560 students between the ages of 4 and 13 and seeks to produce "caring citizens of the world," according to its website. It reportedly costs $24,000-a-year and is only a few miles away from the family's Kensington Palace home.
