The reason behind the day off isn’t stated on the website, although it won’t be long until Prince George and Princess Charlotte can unwind for the festive period, with the school’s Christmas holiday starting on the 11th of December for lower school pupils.
Future King Prince George is currently in year two at the school, while Princess Charlotte began reception back in September.
It is suspected that Charlotte and George may have spent some quality time with their parents and little brother, Prince Louis, on their day off, due to the fact the Duke and Duchess had no public engagements planned for the day.
