Prince Louis and his siblings are back at school after a long Christmas break with their parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton. The family of five experienced a very tough 2024, what with their mother battling cancer, and one can only hope they\u2019ll have a less-complicated time of things this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n As Kate is now cancer-free, many believe she will return to her regular royal duties. However, reports suggest that she will continue to focus on George, Charlotte, and Louis, as the last year has changed her perception of what is important in life.<\/p>\n George, Charlotte, and Louis all attended Lambrook School, and as George will be the first to graduate, a huge discussion between William and Kate has reared its head. Meanwhile, the parents are doing their best to support their children, but according to William, Louis and his siblings usually say a surprising thing when they come home from school.<\/p>\n Prince George,\u00a0Princess Charlotte, and Prince\u00a0Louis\u00a0had a tough time of things last year. Their mother,\u00a0Kate Middleton, received her cancer diagnosis in February, 2024. Though she and\u00a0William gave their children an explanation of what cancer was, since they are very young, it\u2019s fair to imagine that it was hard for them to fully grasp.<\/p>\n To everyone\u2019s joy, Kate revealed in September that she was cancer-free. The entire family finally got to take a deep breath of relief, and William and Kate made sure to spend a lot of quality time with their children over Christmas.<\/p>\n What will come next, no one really knows, though reports suggest that William and Kate, despite their royal duties, are intent on focusing on family life and their children. Speaking to\u00a0Hello Magazine, royal expert Ingrid Seward claimed that William and Kate will be sure to treat their children to some extra special surprises in 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cKate will be wanting to spoil them a bit,\u00a0because it\u2019s very frightening for children when their parents are that ill, so I think they will be up for a few treats this year,\u201d she told Hello! Magazine.<\/p>\n \u201cI think William and Kate might take the children skiing during the Easter holidays and will probably be planning a big summer holiday, because as far as we know they didn\u2019t go anywhere last year.\u201d<\/p>\n The Prince and Princess of Wales have made no secret of their desire to give their children a normal childhood. Being royal children means a life and future very different from the norm, but as far as their everyday life goes, William and Kate are doing their best to be \u201cordinary\u201d. According to royal and body language expert Judi James, that goes for every aspect of their children\u2019s daily lives.<\/p>\n \u201cGeorge, Charlotte and Louis are not only allowed to be playful, fun, spontaneous, and even cheeky in public, they are actively encouraged by their mum and dad, who often look at their most proud and most doting when they are doing so,\u201d James told the\u00a0Daily Mail\u00a0in 2023.<\/p>\n Though the expert acknowledged that William and Kate have a \u201cunique\u201d parenting style regarding their children\u2019s future lives, the freedom to have fun is vital for the kids.<\/p>\n \u201cWilliam and Kate\u2019s parenting duties were always going to be unique as they\u2019re inducting a prince, princess, and future king into the rules, traditions, and formalities of the royal family as well as allowing three small children to have as much fun and freedom as possible as they do so,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n In 2016, before Prince Louis was born, William talked about how he and Kate wanted to keep things as normal as possible for their kids despite their lives being anything\u00a0but<\/em>\u00a0normal.<\/p>\n \u201cAs far as we are concerned within our family unit, we are a normal family,\u201d William said in 2016. \u201cI love my children in the same way any father does and I hope George loves me the same way any son does his father. We are very normal in that sense.\u201d<\/p>\n While George, Charlotte, and Louis have royal relatives, they also have loved ones from more humble beginnings. Their mother\u2019s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, aren\u2019t from a royal background, and that has had a vital impact on the trio\u2019s childhood. During a primary school visit in 2017, Kate spoke about how her parents\u2019 way of raising her children has affected her own.<\/p>\n \u201cMy parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life. That is why William and I want to teach our little children\u2026just how important these things are as they grow up. In my view it is just as important as excelling at maths or sports,\u201d Kate said.<\/p>\n One setting where George, Charlotte, and Louis are getting to be really like normal kids is at school. They all attend Lambrook School, but in a few years, Prince George will leave his siblings and move on to another school. This, it\u2019s said, has caused William and Kate to clash \u2013 and it could be speculated that the same thing might happen when Charlotte and Louis are set to switch schools.<\/p>\n Traditionally, royal children have either been home-schooled or, as was the case for\u00a0King Charles\u00a0and his two sons, sent to boarding school. Charles boarded at Cheam School in Berkshire, aged just eight, making him the first heir to the throne to attend a \u201ccivilian\u201d school, while William and his brother,\u00a0Prince Harry, both attended Ludgrove School, also in Berkshire and then Eton.<\/p>\n George has been spotted alongside his parents looking around Eton College, the same prestigious boarding school both William and Harry\u00a0attended. Eton\u2019s tuition is around \u00a346,000 ($59,000) a year. Though Prince George won\u2019t join the school until he turns 13, children have to be registered for the school during the year that they turn 10, according to the school\u2019s website.<\/p>\n George could well become the first in the next generation of royals to attend Eton. Time will tell if his siblings will join him, but at the moment, they\u2019re enjoying their time at Lambrook. And while Eton might be an outstanding school, Kate reportedly has mixed emotions about sending her son to boarding school.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0In Touch Weekly<\/em>, Kate has reluctantly agreed to George\u2019s wish to be \u201cjust like his father\u201d and attend Eton. But it\u2019s not something she would\u2019ve wished for in the first instance due to her own negative boarding school experiences.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, George will be able to visit his family at weekends, an insider said. Even though the school lies only a five-minute drive from the Waleses\u2019 Windsor home, Kate is worried that she will miss George dearly.<\/p>\n Kate\u2019s own experience at boarding school was far from ideal. She first enrolled at the all-girls boarding school Downe House, where her parents, Carole and Michael, reportedly paid around \u00a328,000 in tuition. But it soon became a nightmare for the future queen.<\/p>\n A friend at a later school, Gemma Williamson, previously told\u00a0The Daily Mail, via\u00a0Yahoo: \u201cApparently, she had been bullied very badly, and she certainly looked thin and pale. She had very little confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n Prince Louis, the youngest of William and Kate\u2019s brood, is currently at Lambrook. The six-year-old is exploring and finding new hobbies, and perhaps he will follow in his older siblings\u2019 footsteps and in taking an interest in sports. George and Charlotte have both been seen with their parents at the Wimbledon tennis tournament, and Kate has been known to have taken them with her to play tennis as well. For Louis, though, music appears to be his main passion.<\/p>\n In December, when speaking with Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood and Dire Straits lead guitarist and singer Mark Knopfler, William revealed that his youngest son had found the drums \u2013\u00a0which makes quite a lot of noise at home.<\/p>\n \u201cMy youngest is learning the drums that\u2019s why I spend my entire life with my fingers in my ears,\u201d William joked.<\/p>\n While Louis appears to have taken a keen interest in the drums, the same thing might not be said about school. At least not if you listen to Prince William, who earlier this week delivered a hilarious update on what his youngest son and his two siblings are telling him after school every day.<\/p>\n While meeting local primary school children outside the Tiber Football Centre in Toxteth outside Liverpool, William told the students that he always asks his children if they had a good day at school and what they had learned.<\/p>\n Their answer? \u201cNothing,\u201d William revealed.<\/p>\n Not much is known about how Louis and his siblings are doing at school, and that surely is a good thing. William and Kate won\u2019t hurry to expose their children to their future royal duties, though they have joined their parents for some outings in recent years.<\/p>\n Prince Louis and his sister, Princess Charlotte, of course, find themselves in the same position as Prince Harry was to William, and the estranged prince has even gone on record to state his concern that Louis will suffer the same fate he did. However, according to one expert, there is little risk that the Prince and Princess of Wales will ever let Louis fall foul of the so-dubbed \u201cSpare Curse,\u201d but rather encourage him to walk his own path in life.<\/p>\n \u201cI imagine they will encourage Louis to explore life outside the royal fold\u2026 it could be the military, but it could also be working in the charity world or whatever he finds appealing after his education is finished. I\u2019m sure they will encourage him to go to University, which they both enjoyed and where, of course, they found love,\u201d former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the\u00a0Mirror\u00a0in April last year.<\/p>\n The royal expert continued: \u201cAnd from there they will want him to find a life that is meaningful to him as well as appropriate for the son of a future King. They will try to ensure that he feels he is living a life of value, irrespective of his place in the line of succession, and that will probably involve service of some kind as they have emphasized from the start that they want their children to understand that having empathy with others is not only a kindness but is rewarding as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Do you think Prince Louis will be a working member of the Royal Family when he grows up?
