Princess Charlotte will not return to school in London until her brother Prince George does due to ‘logistical’ reasons, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are currently residing at their Norfolk countryside home Anmer Hall, where they are homeschooling their three children.
But while Thomas’ Battersea has resumed its classes for five-year-old Princess Charlotte’s reception year group, it is unlikely she will attend without her older brother, according to royal biographer Katie Nicholl.
Six-year-old Prince George’s Year 2 class remains closed in the phased reopening of the primary school.

Speaking to 9Honey, Katie said: ‘If they’re based at Anmer Hall, it would be very logistically challenging to send Charlotte back and keep George and Louis at home.
‘It would mean moving back to London for the sake of sending one child back to school and possibly, logistically with everything else they’re juggling in terms of official duties, it might just be too challenging and that may be why they decided not to do it.’
Katie added, however, that she believes the children could resume their studies at school in the near future.
‘I think it’s likely if George’s year does go back, even if it’s just for a short while before the end of term, then I think it’s probably likely they will want him and Charlotte to go back,’ she explained, pointing out that both children will be moving into a new year group in September.

‘If nothing else it will be an opportunity to say hello and goodbye to their friends,’ she added.
Thomas’s concludes its summer term on Friday July 3, with its summer extension coming to an end on July 17. Michaelmas term begins on September 7.
Katie said she doesn’t believe Prince William, 37, and Kate, 38, will make a ‘big deal’ of taking their children back to school as doing so would be ‘too disruptive’ amid the pandemic.
She said if they do return, she imagines it will be kept ‘pretty low key’ and done ‘quietly and below the radar’.

In April a source revealed Kate is ‘leading’ the homeschooling efforts while organising playtime for Prince Louis, one, each day. William has also reportedly ‘rolled his sleeves up’ to help out during the coronavirus crisis.
A source told The Sun: ‘Kate is leading on most of the teaching. She spends time every day doing something with them.’
The couple later told BBC Breakfast that they homeschooled their children during the Easter holidays without telling them.
Prince William and Kate said it had been ‘challenging’ to teach their three children – who they said had ‘got such stamina’, although it ‘hasn’t been all hardcore’.
Kate admitted: ‘Don’t tell the children, we’ve actually kept it going through the holidays. 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.’
She added: ‘It’s just having that bit of structure actually. And it’s great, there’s so many great tips online and fun activities that you can do with the children, so it hasn’t been all hardcore.’
