Her big brother Prince George has already been attending the private school for two years, and an insider told PEOPLE that Prince Charlotte “can’t wait to be with George at big school” and “is so excited about it all.”

“They are close in age, and they spend so much time together,” said the source. “Playdates [with outsiders] can be tricky, so they learn to lean on each other.”
