PRINCE William is in line for a challenging new role — school run driver for his and Kate’s three kids.

Wills, 40, will take George, Charlotte and Louis when they all start term together next month.

William will take George, Charlotte and Louis to Lambrook Prep when they start

The trip is 14 miles there and back from the royal home

He and Kate have chosen Lambrook Prep, 14 miles there and back from the royal home the couple have chosen in Windsor Great Park.

The return trip to Adelaide Cottage, where we told last month the family were moving, is mostly private roads.

George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four, will not be boarding. But annual fees will still cost the Cambridges around £53,628.

Year 5 fees for George will be £20,997 a year while sister Charlotte, in Year 3, will cost her parents £19,464 a year.

Putting Louis in reception will be £13,167 for the year.

Sources say William and Kate, 40, have visited Lambrook “multiple times” during their hunt for a suitable school to which to send the two princes and princess.

It takes 620 pupils aged between three and 13 and is close to Bracknell, Berks.

The school has 52 acres of sports facilities, meadows and woodland and a nine-hole golf course and orchard.

It has a sports hall and the regally-named Diamond Jubilee Performing Arts Studio.

Synchronised swimming, digital photography, polo and archery are among pursuits.

Pupils can join Harry Potter nights and have enjoyed space and medieval days.

There is said to be an active social scene among parents, who include bankers, doctors and TV personalities. It is believed Kate and Wills, who are moving to their new home from Kensington Palace, have met with teachers.

Security experts have visited to determine where the royals will sit in classes and when they will do PE.

A palace source said: “The decision to move to Windsor was always about putting the children first. Both William and Catherine are very keen to do the school run.”

Lambrook head Jonathan Perry said: “We’re delighted Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will be joining us and very much look forward to welcoming the family . . .  to our school community.”
