The Duchess of Cambridge made her debut appearance on This Morning on Thursday, where she opened up about her family's life in lockdown. Host Holly Willoughby asked Kate how she had been coping with homeschooling her young children, and her answer was very relatable! The royal revealed that Prince George, six, wasn't so happy about the fact that his little sister, Princess Charlotte, four, was getting more exciting school projects, while he was having to do proper learning. She said: "George gets very upset because he wants to do Charlotte's projects. Because making things like spider sandwiches is far cooler than doing literacy work!"

During the interview, Kate also praised the school for being "very supportive" towards the children during the lockdown, admitting that it was a difficult and strange time for everyone. The two oldest Cambridge children have been learning at home from the end of March. Their school released a statement at the time, revealing that all pupils were going to be taught through online learning platforms.
