Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Kids Ditch Their Royal Titles at School

The children are using a low-key surname at school, following royal naming tradition and a practice that previously used Cambridge.

  • Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis reportedly use the surname Wales at school, known among their peers as George Wales, Charlotte Wales, and Louis Wales.
  • This practice follows the precedent set by Prince William and Prince Harry, who used Wales as their surname while attending school, reflecting their parents' titles as the Prince and Princess of Wales.
  • Before their parents became the Prince and Princess of Wales, the siblings reportedly used Cambridge as their surname at earlier schools, aligning with changes in their parents' official royal titles.
  • Prince George has seemingly started at Eton, moving into one of the 25 boarding houses, while Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis attend Lambrook Prep School in Berkshire.
  • Members of the Royal House often avoid surnames, preferring to be known by their title and name, but the children appear to adopt the Wales surname for a low-key school life.
