Princess Charlotte adorably hid behind mum Kate Middleton on her first day of school; See Pics

Prince William and Kate Middleton aka The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge have been blessed with three lovely children - son Prince George (6), daughter Princess Charlotte (4) and son Prince Louis (18 months). And while George already started attending school two years ago, his little sister Charlotte today stepped for the first time inside the Thomas's Battersea school. Charlotte was accompanied by mum Kate Middleton, dad Prince William and brother George. Dressed smartly in her school uniform, Charlotte looked adorable as she held mum Kate's hand.

At the Thomas’s Battersea School, Charlotte won't be getting any royal treatment and will be considered as just another kid like the others. Instead of addressing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's daughter by her royal title, she’ll simply be known as Charlotte.

The South London school welcomed Charlotte and the royal family upon her arrival. A school teacher was present to greet kids Charlotte and George as the paparazzi clicked away. Thomas's Battersea educates 560 boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 13 and charges £6,429 (about USD 7,900) per term, according to the school's website. 

Initially a little nervous, Charlotte hid behind mum Kate as they walked towards the main entrance of the school. However, the 4-year-old didn't stay behind for too long as she stepped up to meet the school authority. Charlotte shook hands and so did her elder brother George. Take a look at some pictures from Charlotte's first day at school below:
