The Princess of Wales has revealed she is helping Prince George revise for his upcoming maths exams.
Kate Middleton, 41, spoke to pupils preparing for their A-levels exams at the Fitzalan High School in Cardiff, as part of a visit to Wales to mark the start of Black History Month.
‘George is just at the beginning of being tested. He says: “Mummy, I keep getting tested all the time,'” she said.
After she discussed George’s early experience with exams, she remarked: ‘But when it gets to A-levels you feel like you’re on it.’
Dressed in a £549 navy pinstripe jacket from Holland Cooper and matching wide-leg navy trousers, Kate spoke with several A-Level students.
Kate told the students: ‘Kate said: ‘George is just at the beginning of being tested. He says: “Mummy, I keep getting tested all the time”‘

Alongside her chic, tailored suit, which is the same outfit she wore to welcome Apple CEO Tim Cook to Windsor Castle last week, the Princess opted for a white body underneath the outfit for the occasion. She wore her brunette locks in loose curls hanging down her shoulders.
Now George is getting older, education is seemingly at the forefront for the Windsor’s, and the Princess will not be joining Prince William for the Earthshot Prize next month as she is helping George prepare for exams.
Kate will not travel to Singapore with her husband in November and instead stay with her eldest son George and his siblings Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, at the family residence in Windsor.
The Daily Mail has confirmed that the royal won’t be attending the glitzy event. It is understood ‘Prince George has exams that week and she wants to be at home to support him.’
George, who is in Year 6 at the Lambrook School in Berkshire, will sit Key Stage 2 SATs this year.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s children have joined the co-educational private school near Ascot in Berkshire, after the couple set up a new home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor’s Home Park.
William and Kate set their hearts on the outdoorsy preparatory school with its 52 acres of grounds for their youngsters where fees will cost them in excess of £50,000 a year and pupils are given ‘feathers to fly’ and a ‘delicious sense of freedom’.
The co-educational independent day and boarding school for three to 13-year-olds near Ascot, is just a 10-minute drive from their new home in Windsor – and offers ‘first-class teaching and superb facilities’ which include a 25-metre swimming pool, a nine-hole golf course, a squash court, cricket and other sports pitches.

The school offers both weekly boarding and flexi boarding for the older two – where they can opt for a night’s stay as and when they choose, but George and Charlotte are day pupils for now.
Prince William and Princess Kate have also reportedly been spotted looking at Eton with Prince George, perhaps suggesting the future king will follow in his father’s footsteps in three years time.
Elsewhere during the royal visit to Wales’ capital today, Kate Middleton paid a sweet tribute to Welsh football legend Gareth Bale as she held her hands in a heart-shape – the former winger’s favourite celebration.
Showing she truly is attuned to Welsh culture, the royal put her hands out in a sweet heart gesture – a move Bale would do after scoring.
Bale, who was born in Cardiff, is considered the best footballer to ever play for Wales and had an illustrious career at Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid, as well as captaining his national team to third place at Euro 2016, the country’s best ever result. He retired earlier this year.

William and Kate also took each other on in a game of table tennis this afternoon as they met with Windrush elders in Cardiff, before doling out the hugs to members of the public who came to see them.
Kate teamed up with a young woman at the Grange Pavilion as the pair took on the Prince of Wales (who had also found a dedicated teammate).
The famously competitive couple beamed as they took each other on in a doubles match during their engagement, which saw them meet with migrants from the Windrush Generation who settled in Wales, on the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush to the UK.
The couple appeared very hands on with both school children and elders they met – even embracing one in a hug.
Kate and William have a reputation for being competitive with one another, which they recently opened up about on Mike Tindall’s podcast, where they compared themselves to Monica from hit sitcom Friends – and said their table tennis games can ‘go on for hours’ and become a ‘mental game’ between the two of them.
