CHILDREN from Plumpton Primary School were thrilled to receive letters from Kensington Palace after writing to Prince George when they learnt that he had just started school.

They wanted to offer him advice and share their experiences of their first days.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge replied to say they were “overwhelmed by all the incredibly thoughtful messages they have received” from Plumpton pupils.

The children advised Prince George to talk to others if he had any problems, listen to his teachers, make friends and, most importantly, to be himself.

One of them wrote: “You can do it!”
