Prince George Begins Nursery School

— -- Today was a big day for Prince George.

The 2-year-old son of Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, began nursery school.

To mark the occasion, Kensington Palace shared photos of the toddler outside Westacre Montessori School in Norfolk, England.

The Palace announced last month that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had chosen to send George to school near their country home, Amner Hall. It is also close to where William works as a pilot for East Anglian Air Ambulance.

"We are looking forward to welcoming George to our nursery where he will get the same special experience, as all of our children," a representative for Westacre Montessori School said at the time.
