The Cambridges returned to London at the beginning of the week for the new school term, having spent half-term in their beloved country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis had a great time, with William telling a primary school teacher during an event before the match: "We've been lambing with the children this week.
