Prince William joined Heart Breakfast this morning with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, where he gave an insight into his family's 'chaotic' school run10:19, 22 May 2026Updated 10:25, 22 May 2026Prince William has revealed that Prince George sometimes boards at school and gave a glimpse of what mornings are like at home with wife Kate and their three children.The Prince of Wales joined Heart Breakfast this morning with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden from the Isles of Scilly, where he is set to carry out engagements later today. During the early morning radio chat, William told the hosts that he is not a morning person and and that it would be at that time he would usually be doing the school run.When asked by Amanada if he had a message for his children, he said: ""Charlotte and Louis, because George is boarding last night, if you're listening, make sure you're on time, please. Make sure you're not fighting over who's listening to what this morning."Lambrook, a private preparatory school for pupils aged 3-13, offers flexible boarding to all students. Children aged 7-13 can stay from five nights a week to one night every so often. The website states there are two boarding houses, Lambrook House for girls and Westfield for boys. Each house is overseen by a house parent and supported by tutors.It has always been thought that the siblings are day pupils, and appears to be the first time it has been revealed that George, who turns 13 in July, sometimes boards.In September, the second-in-line to the throne will enrol in secondary school as he is currently in his last term at Lambrook. It has not been confirmed where he will go next, but if he were to go to his father's former school of Eton, he would be expected to board full-time.Amanda also asked about if the school run was chaotic, with William revealing: " It can be it depends if there is a guitar lesson or a music lesson, you have to get the guitar in the car, no we aren’t taking the car, are we boarding are we not, are we seeing friends or are we not, all of that going on in the morning.He also shared how there are a "lot of jam sandwiches in the car" adding Louis leaves jam fingerprints throughout the car joking: "which is really helpful."Elsewhere in the chat, William revealed that Kate returned “buzzing” from her trip to Italy promoting the early years development of children and has become a “pro” on the subject.He said his wife is “edging herself back” into doing more overseas visits following her successful cancer treatment, but cautioned royal trips take their toll, so they have to “make sure she’s OK and rested”.There was also a personal tribute to Kate from her husband, who said: “She’s an amazing mum and an amazing wife and literally our family couldn’t cope without her, so she’s been absolutely stunning, really has.”William appeared live on the breakfast show, broadcast from a cafe on the Isles of Scilly where the prince will later visit the Isles of Scilly Hospital to meet staff, patients and open a new facility which has increased medical capacity to the isles.Asked if he is proud of Kate’s successful visit to Italy, William replied: “So proud, very, very proud. She’s been amazing. She’s been through so much in the last couple of years, particularly. She’d been looking forward to the Italian trip a lot, and so I’m really glad it went really well.”Kate received a rapturous welcome from the people of the Italian city of Reggio Emilia where she learnt about an innovative approach to teaching young children pioneered in the city.William added: “She wanted to go and do lots of research, she spends God knows how much time now looking through all the paperwork.Article continues below“She’s a proper pro on early years, and so most evenings I’m fighting to get past in the bedroom… all the paperwork that she’s got lined up ready to read. I’m so pleased it went well for her, and yeah I think she came back buzzing.”
