Prince Louis, two, will have been enjoying spending time with his older siblings Prince George, seven, and Princess Charlotte, five, who have been home with their little brother ever since schools in England first closed in March.
However, George and Charlotte are both expected to return to Thomas’s Battersea for the start of the autumn term next week which means Louis will be at home on his own with mum Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 38, again.
Prince William, 38, and Kate left London ahead of lockdown and relocated with their children to their country home Anmer Hall.
The doting parents are huge advocates of outdoor education and will have been encouraging their little ones to make the most of the extensive grounds in Norfolk.
Anmer Hall is where the Cambridges usually spend the school holidays but during term time they are based at their apartment in Kensington Palace.

He added: “As usual, fines will sit alongside this, but only as a last resort and where there is no valid reason for absence.”
Prince Louis turned two in April and won’t start school for another couple of years, however, he is expected to follow in his siblings’ footsteps and attend Thomas’s Battersea too.
This year George will experience a step-up in his education as he enters Year 3 and starts prep school.
According to Thomas’s website, the young Prince and his classmates will be taught skills such as self-analysis and “how to learn from mistakes” in the coming year.
The forward-thinking independent school claims to put “kindness at its core” and aims to “develop the skills our pupils need to prepare for their futures.”
Year 3 pupils at Thomas’s are introduced to a method of learning referred to as “Enquiry Mindset” which is described on its website as follows: “Our approach to teaching and learning develops the skills our pupils need to prepare for their futures.”
“Our enquiry model develops two critical skills in particular: thinking and questioning.
“At Thomas’s, we refer to this as Enquiry Mindset.”
