Prince George has started his first day at school – but his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, missed the occasion as she was not well enough to take him.
(BBC) – The Duke of Cambridge, prince William dropped son , Prince George, but mom Catherine, who is suffering from severe morning sickness, was still unwell was unable to make it. The four-year-old is attending Thomas’s Battersea, an £18,000-a-year preparatory school in London. His uniform includes navy shorts and jacket, long red socks and black shoes.
The milestone for the prince comes after the duke and duchess this week announced they are expecting their third child.
Catherine had to pull out of public engagements on Monday and Tuesday because she is suffering from hypremesis gravidarum, as with her previous two pregnancies.

The uniform for Thomas’s Battersea is only available at the Peter Jones department store in Sloane Square or from the second-hand uniform shop at the school.
For boys in reception class, the outfit consists of a navy jacket, a v-neck jersey and navy Bermuda shorts.
In winter, this is accompanied by a red polo neck and long red and navy socks.
In summer, short-sleeved light blue shirts are required – which Prince George was sporting on his first day – along with navy ankle socks.

George has joined a class of 20 other pupils and has his own desk and peg with his name on. He will begin by doing half days as a “gentle” introduction to school life.
Ben Thomas, principal of Thomas’s London Day Schools, said there would be no special treatment for the royal.
“We are going to try and make this a really happy, safe and secure time,” he said.
“I hope he will have the confidence to be himself with all his quirks and his idiosyncrasies and characteristics – that’s what I would want for all of our children.”
