Princess Charlotte was “not looking forward to sitting her exams”, according to Prince William, who travelled abroad for various D-Day celebrations today.
The Prince of Wales disclosed that the nine-year-old was sitting exams at Lambrook School earlier this week.
Prince William fondly spoke about his nine-year-old daughter’s exam worries to a young fan on Wednesday.
The prince, 41, was candid at a D-Day event in Portsmouth when a young girl asked about Princess Charlotte’s whereabouts.

Showing his paternal side, Prince William bent down to talk directly to the girl, named Taylor, and explained: “Charlotte’s at school, Charlotte’s got exams.”
He added: “Yes, she’s got tests.”
William then shared that his daughter, a pupil at Lambrook School in Berkshire along with Prince George and Prince Louis, “wasn’t looking forward to it this morning”.
The father-of-three crossed his fingers and continued: “Hopefully it’s all gone well.”

He also asked if she enjoyed the Red Arrows flypast, which took place at 12.30pm on Wednesday.
Prior to meeting the young fan, Prince William gave an update on the Princess of Wales’s condition as he revealed his wife “would have loved” to attend the D-Day anniversary events.
On Thursday, King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince of Wales travelled abroad to Normandy, France to meet the President and First Lady.

In an awkward moment, the King and Queen were kept waiting by President Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, who were 20 minutes late for today’s showpiece memorial ceremony.
Cnews, the TV news outlet, wrote: “While the King and Queen of England were already installed, Emmanuel Macron and his wife arrived 20 minutes late for the Franco-British ceremony, which shocked the English.”
On Tuesday, Macron was almost an hour late when he turned up at the first D-Day commemoration in Plumelec, Brittany.
Elsewhere, Prince William was pictured at Juno Beach, where hundreds of Canadian troops lost their lives, along with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
