Parents across the country have shared first day of school pictures this week, with their children smiling in beautifully laundered uniforms and shiny new shoes.

Prince George stars in a slightly different set of images to mark his milestone first day at Thomas’s Battersea.

The curriculum will cover subjects and activities from ballet and art to drama, French, music and PE.

The appearance of a solitary camera was a departure from the wall of photographers faced by Prince William when he, and his brother Prince Harry, started school in the 1980s.

The prince, who will go by the name George Cambridge at the £17,604-a-year school, was greeted by head of the lower school Helen Haslem.

The Duchess of Cambridge was unable to join George on his first day as she is suffering with severe morning sickness in the early stages of her third pregnancy.

Back in 2016, she took her own photographs of her little boy when he started at Westacre Montessori nursery school near Sandringham.

It is expected that William and Kate will do the school run with George as often as possible.

Prince George was last photographed in public in July during the royal visit to Germany and Poland. On a visit to Airbus in Hamburg, the young royal was able to stand inside a rescue helicopter.
