Princess Charlotte, three, has attended Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington since last January when she was two
The morning school, where fees will cost £3,150 per term from Autumn 2018, can accommodate children up until the age of five years
But the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided to send their daughter to Thomas's Battersea in southwest London from September, according to reports
Charlotte, who turns four in May, will join big brother George, six, an attendee at the prestigious school for the last two years But what is the reason why? William and Kate want Charlotte to follow in her sibling's footsteps for security purposes and to make the school run easier, according to the Mail on Sunday
Thomas's Battersea is a "busy, thriving, purposeful school" with a "rich and broad curriculum" including ballet lessons
Other extracurricular activities include gardening, philosophy and fencing. Several choirs and orchestras also exist with the school saying the "non-auditioned" roles are "greatly encouraged" by the music department
Kate and William are already said to favour less "traditional" schools and may considering snubbing Eton as a future choice for Prince George
The future king could end up attending Marlborough College, where the Duchess attended, according to a friend speaking to the Daily Mail
The friend said: "William and Catherine surprised many with their choice of Thomas's Battersea for George over more traditional royal schools, but picked it because they felt it was the right fit for him
"They are very keen to allow George to spread his wings as a child and won't ever do what people expect them to do when it comes to their children
"Eton hasn't been ruled out but they have talked at length about Marlborough as an option and the smart money is on George going there instead
" Marlborough College costs £12,605 a term in comparison with £13,556 a term for Eton
Kate is said to have loved her time there and excelled on the sports field playing hockey and running cross-country
She left Marlborough College in July 2000, going onto St Andrews where she met Prince William
Kate earned a honours degree in art history while Prince William studied geography
He graduated with a 2:1 master of arts. Interestingly, William had originally intended to study art history but switched his major to geography in his second year
