Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 39, and Prince William, 38, currently have their hands full with all three children at home. Prince George, seven, and Princess Charlotte, five, are both pupils at Thomas’s Battersea in South West London but have been unable to return to class as schools remain closed during England’s third lockdown.
Kate and William’s youngest Prince Louis, two, was also expected to start at nursery this January but the important step has been delayed by the pandemic.
While William and Kate may have private tutors at their disposal, the hands-on parents have decided to homeschool their children themselves, a palace insider confirmed.
Kate, William and their little ones are staying at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, where they spent the first lockdown.
The country home has ample space for their children to play in and extensive grounds for them to explore.

She laughed: “I feel very mean!
“The children have got such stamina I don’t know how.
“Honestly, you get to the end of the day and you write down the list of all the things that you’ve done in that day.
“So you pitch a tent take the tent down again, cook, bake.
“You get to the end of the day – they have had a lovely time – but it is amazing how much you can cram into one day that’s for sure.”
Kate and William’s main administrative base is in London at Kensington Palace but the couple are expected to stay put in Norfolk until lockdown is eased.
The family left the capital ahead of Christmas and are expected to stay in Norfolk for the next seven weeks.
They have been able to carry out virtual engagements from Anmer Hall and are expected to honour their royal duties despite lockdown.
On Friday evening Kensington Palace shared a clip of William talk to London hospital workers on a video call.
