Prince George is adorably nicknamed ‘PG’ at school and is already ‘very popular’, according to parents

HE might be third in line to the throne, but according to parents at the youngster's school, Prince George is just like any other five-year-old.

In fact, the young royal even has an adorable playground nickname at Thomas's Battersea.

George started at the £17,600-a-year private school in September 2017 - and according to other parents, the Cambridges are just like any other family.

One parent told : "He's very popular and has lots of friends, and there's very little fuss made about who he is.

"Either William or Kate do drop off, and they are always very friendly."

Not only does George get dropped off by Will or Kate each day, but the parent also said he has a cute playground nickname - PG.

Apparently, Kate and Will have been known to use it too, which resulted in the nickname "Tips" when he was a baby.

The parent also added that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge often socialise with some of the other mums and dads, too.

"William particularly loves to have a chat with some of the other parents and he works out with some of the mums at the Harbour Club after drop off. He’s very chatty and amiable.”

George's little sister, Princess Charlotte, will join her brother at the school in September.

Students at Thomas's take part in activities including fencing, philosophy, gardening and pottery at the school which, according to its website, has a "rich and broad curriculum".

It is thought that having both children at Thomas's will help with security - not to mention the school run.
