Prince George and Princess Charlotte are treated differently from other children in public because of their blue blood. This is also the case at school.

00:00 Prince George and Princess Charlotte have a rigorous school schedule that keeps them busy six days a week.
00:07 Unlike most children who attend school five days a week, Prince William and Duchess Kate's children only get one day off.
00:14 But why is the education of the Cambridges so different from that of other children at different schools?
00:21 We'll reveal it to you.
00:23 Melanie Sanderson explained on the podcast A Right Royal that the six-day school program, while intensive, probably fits well with the active lifestyle of the Cambridges.
00:34 We know the Royals love being outdoors.
00:37 They love the countryside and it's a real muddy-knees type of school.
00:41 It's intense.
00:44 For the younger ones, for the six- and seven-year-olds, it's a really long week.
00:49 Lambrook School doesn't strictly adhere to a purely academic timetable.
00:54 Often, students participate in sports, arts, and other activities designed to help them develop into more versatile personalities.
01:03 To ensure that teaching isn't compromised, the Royal kids have to attend school for one extra day.
01:10 Prince William and Duchess Kate aren't the first Royals to send their children to the prestigious school.
01:16 Two of Queen Victoria's grandchildren, Prince Christian Victor and Prince Albert of Sleswig-Holstein, were also students there in 1878.
01:25 The school, which has nearly 600 students, is also known for its philanthropic efforts.
01:32 Lambrook does lots and lots of fundraising for the community.
01:36 They are very focused on making sure that their pupils understand how privileged they are.
01:42 That's important to William and Kate as well.
01:46 In interviews, they repeatedly emphasize their desire to raise their children as down-to-earth and normal as possible.
01:54 In doing so, they also instill in the children the awareness that they can do a lot of good in their privileged position.
