During her time at university, she continued her interest in sport by playing hockey for the university team.

It is across the River Thames s few miles from his family's home in Kensington Palace in London. George is in a class of 21 pupils. But George is no ordinary student. He's the grandson of Prince Charles the Prince of Wales and the late Princess Diana, and the great-grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip As an heir to the throne he would follow his father, William, and grandfather Prince Charles.
Prince George's first day at school "went well", the Duke of Cambridge has revealed later to the journalists and added that "it was really nice actually. It's a nice school." He said that some parents had more issues with their children on the first day of school and he was glad he was not the one. His granddad Charles stresses that “school is good for children, it is character- building’.
Ben Thomas, principal of Thomas's London Day Schools for 18 years, said he hoped the future king would learn to "be himself" while at school. He added that George would not be given "any special treatment at all". George's parents have said they want him to have as normal a childhood as possible.
