Prince George and Princess Charlotte aren’t only British royals at their school

Princess Charlotte has joined her big brother Prince George at school, and we hope the little royals are looking out for each other in the playground.

But the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's two oldest kids aren't the only members of the British Royal Family walking the corridors of Thomas's Battersea – and another of their relatives also goes there.

Maud Windsor, the eldest daughter of Lord Frederick Windsor, who is better known as Lord Freddie, is in George's year at the school.

Lord Freddie's dad is Prince Michael of Kent, the Queen's cousin.

And you'll probably recognise little Maud's mum.

Sophie Winkleman, who is also known as Lady Frederick Windsor, is a British actress, best known for playing Big Suze in Peep Show.

She's also appeared in The Palace and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and is the sister of TV presenter Claudia Winkleman.

Lord Freddie and his sister Lady Gabriella grew up at Kensington Palace next door to Princes William and Harry.

Due to their distance from the senior royals we don't see little Maud out and about often, but we did see her last year when she acted as bridesmaid for Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

When Maud was born in August 2013, just a month after George, she was 42nd in line to the throne.

Her full name is Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina Windsor, and her parents picked Elizabeth in honour of the Queen.

George and Maud started at Thomas's on the same day in September 2017.

Lord Freddie married Sophie back in 2009 at the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court, south-west London.


The Queen and Prince Charles were unable to attend the wedding, but it was still a starry event with lots of celebrity guests.

The couple picked the name Maud after Princess Mauds.

Speaking to Hello! in 2013, Lord Freddie said: "We liked the idea of an old-fashioned English name and there are a couple of Princess Mauds in my father's family from a hundred years ago – one was the youngest daughter of Edward VII who ended up being Queen of Norway, and another a grand-daughter of Edward VII by his daughter Princess Louise.
