Prince George's frustrating school lesson that left him 'confused and annoyed'

Prince George is currently 11 and is a pupil at Lambrook School with his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - and according to dad Prince William, there was one important lesson he learned several years back that left George 'confused'

Prince George will be spending some quality time with his parents and siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis for a special reason.

The royal youngsters are all on their half-term holiday from school with their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, known to prioritise spending the school breaks with their children. The trio are all pupils at Lambrook School - however, despite being royals, the gang are treated like all other children and take part in all lessons.

It was the same at George and Charlotte's previous school of Thomas's in Battersea, South London, where the pair enjoyed their early education. And while it seems George enjoys being in class, there was apparently one school activity he took part in that left him "confused and annoyed".

His dad Prince William made the revelation that his oldest son took part in litter-picking sessions, which left his son frustrated about the state of the planet. Speaking to a BBC podcast in 2021, William divulged: "So George at school recently has been doing litter picking and I didn't realise but talking to him the other day he was already showing that he was getting a bit confused and a bit sort of annoyed by the fact they went out litter picking one day and then the very next day they did the same route, same time and pretty much all the same litter they picked up back again.

"And I think that for him he was trying to understand how and where it all came from. He couldn't understand, he's like, 'well, we cleaned this. Why has it not gone away?’" William has been very vocal about turning the tide on climate change and environmental problems and set up the Earthshot Prize in order to find solutions to the climate crisis.

And he's previously said that he was concerned that George and his generation might still be talking about climate change in decades to come. He added: "But it shouldn't be that there's a third-generation now coming along having to ramp it up even more.

"And you know, for me, it would be an absolute disaster if George is sat here talking to you or your successor, you know in like 30 years time, whatever, still saying the same thing, because by then we will be too late."

Last month, the finalists of the fourth annual Earthshot Prize were announced with each in with the chance to win a £1 million prize.

The ambitious environmental project has unearthed inspiring groups of global innovators, entrepreneurs, community leaders and advocates pioneering solutions to the planet’s most pressing climate and environmental challenges. The cash will be awarded at The Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa on Wednesday, November 6, which is set to be attended by William. Wife Kate, who has recent finished her chemotherapy treatment following a cancer diagnosis is not thought to be attending.
