The little Princess arrived at the school in the company of Kate Middleton, Prince William, and older brother, Prince George. In a video shared by Kensington Royal on Instagram, the Cambridges' walked across the playground hand-in-hand.

Princess Charlotte held onto Middleton, who carried her backpack, and shyly shook the hand of Helen Haylem, the lady in charge of the lower school. As they walked towards the main entrance, the little girl used her hand to shake her ponytail severally, in a playful manner.

"So cute, she loves her ponytail. Have a fun day, Charlotte."

A source close to the Royals told People that the little girl is excited to be in the same school as Prince George, as they always lean on each other. The young Prince started at Thomas's in 2017, and on his first day, he went in the company of his father.

WHAT WILL PRINCESS CHARLOTTE GET CALLED?

At the time, Middleton was pregnant with Prince Louis, and could not make it to the school. Prince George settled in comfortably, and he is expected to act as a buffer for his sister as she begins her next level of education.

At school, the little girl, whose given name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, and title is, Her Royal Highness, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, will not be addressed with any of the names. Her schoolmates will know her as "Charlotte Cambridge."

The Royals have a history of using their titles as their last name, and the Princess and her brother are following that tradition. All things being equal, the 4-year-old Royal will have a great first year, just like Prince George did.
