The first day of school can be understandably nerve-racking — even if you’re a princess. Luckily for some, though, having an older sibling who can provide guidance can help soothe the nerves. On Thursday, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, reminded Princess Charlotte of just that while she dropped her and big brother Prince George off for their first day of school.

As People previously reported, the young royals are incredibly close with each other. ‘They are close in age, and they spend so much time together,’ a source said. ‘Playdates [with outsiders] can be tricky, so they learn to lean on each other.’
Despite Princess Charlotte being ‘more outgoing’ than her brother, the two still seem to have maintained a strong bond.
Another source from Hello! magazine added that George can be protective of his younger sister. ‘Prince George is a very protective and lovely older brother,’ said royal biographer Penny Junor. ‘I’m sure he’ll look after his little sister and take great pride in showing her the ropes.’
