On Thursday morning, Prince George embarked on his first day of school.
It seemed like only moments ago he was the chubby-faced bub on his mum’s hip without a care in the world. Gee they grow up fast, don’t they?
As we speak, George is probably debriefing Kate and Wills on normal things like how many friends he’s made, with Charlotte crying in the corner for attention now her brother’s a big boy.
But seeing as he’s not just a normal young man, you can imagine there were a number of logistics to consider before the Prince’s arrival at Thomas’s Battersea school in southwest London.
Such as, what does one call the boy who’s casually third-in-line for the throne when taking the roll?
Playing a game of kiss chasey after devouring a completely normal lunchbox of lamb ragu and quinoa salad, you can hardly picture the four-year-old’s classmates yelling out, ‘Oi, His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge is ‘it'” (or can you?).
To make things easier for everyone involved, the Prince will be known simply as George Cambridge, the Mirror reports. Because George Alexander Louis is a bit much.

They don't officially have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, it's only there as an option if those that are titled need to put a surname down and for non-titled descendants in the future. Prince Edward's children have that surname, as they're styled as the children of an earl rather than the grandchildren of the sovereign.
Can you imagine that parent teacher interview :))))))) #stressful
