The 10 cutest royal back-to-school photos over the years

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis headed back to school on Wednesday, Sept. 4, and while fans likely won't see a new photo in 2024, there have been plenty of adorable first-day moments from the royal family over the years.

The Wales children are currently pupils at Lambrook School near their Windsor home, but members of the Royal Family have studied everywhere from Scotland to London while posing for the standard first-day photo.

From Prince William in his smart Eton uniform to a chubby-cheeked Prince George proudly heading to school, check out 10 of the best royal school snaps, below.
