Prince George and Princess Charlotte are allowed to break this school rule that their classmates are banned from doing

THE ROYAL children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are allowed to break one of their primary school's rules, a privilege their classmates aren't allowed.

The young children attend St Thomas' a private school in Battersea and the family have permission to do something that will make their school drop offs just a little bit easier.

Pupils at the school are supposed to be dropped outside the school gates in order to minimise the risk of spreading covid, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are able to drive their kids through the school gates and into the grounds.

Thomas’ school introduced a number of practices to protect staff, students and their families during the pandemic including changes to the drop off procedure.

This meant children had to be delivered to the front gate by parents or carers.

But the Cambridge children have special permission to drive into the school grounds.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, royal expert Katie Nicholl said: “According to one parent, the school has installed numerous Covid prevention measures and parents now have to drop children at the school gates.

“The Cambridges, however, are still able to drive their children into the school grounds.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton frequently do the school run themselves, dropping their children off for the day but the parents do also have the help of a Norland nanny.

The special measures are likely to have been granted to the children as a security precaution given their position, fame and family.

A source told Vanity Fair: "He’s very popular and has lots of friends, and there’s very little fuss made about who he is.

"Either William or Kate do drop off, and they are always very friendly.

"William particularly loves to have a chat with some of the other parents and he works out with some of the mums at the Harbour Club after drop off. He’s very chatty and amiable.”
