- The Duchess of Cambridge made her debut appearance on ITV’s This Morning yesterday.
- She explained Prince George has been getting jealous of the fun school projects his sister, Princess Charlotte, has been given.
- This royal news follows the Duchess of Cambridge revealing the hilarious backstory behind new photos of Prince Louis.
During the segment, the duchess - who spoke via video link - shed light on how her children were coping with lockdown life.
Presenter Holly Willoughby asked the Duchess of Cambridge how her little ones were finding home schooling.
The royal revealed that her eldest, six-year-old Prince George, has been struggling with the fact that his sister, five-year-old Princess Charlotte, is receiving more exciting school projects than him. So there's been a little sibling jealousy in the Cambridge household.
The Duchess of Cambridge explained, ‘George gets very upset because he wants to do Charlotte's projects - because making things like spider sandwiches is far cooler than doing literacy work.’
Kate also praised her children’s school - Thomas's Battersea - for being ‘very supportive’ towards the kids during the lockdown, adding that it was a difficult and strange time for everyone.
The royal appeared on the ITV show to discuss her new project with the National Portrait Gallery, titled Hold Still, which features photos that capture the 'resilience, bravery and kindness' of Britons during the coronavirus crisis.
