Princess Charlotte starts nursery school

The Duchess of Cambridge has released pictures of her daughter, Princess Charlotte, before she starts her first day at nursery school.

Princess Charlotte's first day at nursery school has been marked by the release of two pictures taken by her proud mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The two-year-old, who is fourth in line to the throne, was photographed at Kensington Palace before travelling to nearby Willcocks Nursery School.

Charlotte is pictured sitting down on some outside steps in the grounds of the famous palace and another standing as she holds onto a rail.

The young princess is wearing a scarf, coat and appears to have a rucksack on her back as she is photographed by her mother.

The princess will be a full-time pupil at the nursery, which charges fees of just over $A5,000 a term for pupils attending its Monday to Friday morning school.

The school has been described in reports as having a loyal following of "old English families and chic foreigners'' and is something of a "hidden gem" in the shadow of the Royal Albert Hall.

It is likely Kate was invited into the nursery for her first "stay and play'' session with Charlotte, where the parent gradually spends more time away from their child until they are happy to be apart from their mother or father for the whole day.
