The reason Prince George won’t be allowed a best friend at school

Poor old George.

It's fair to say that the little prince looked a little overwhelmed by everything when he started school in London last Thursday. The four-year-old was accompanied by his dad as he made his way into Thomas' School in Battersea and was introduced to his head teacher Helen Haslem. We don't doubt that he's settling well into big school, but there is one rule at Thomas' that sets it apart from other primary schools. Children there are discouraged from having a single best friend to make sure no-one is left out. "There are signs everywhere saying 'be kind' - that's the ethos of the school, they don't encourage you to have best friends," Loose Women panellist Jane Moore, who lives close to Thomas', said on the show, according to Cosmopolitan. She also revealed that if George wants to invite some classmates to a birthday party, he'll have to invite them all or hand out the invitations outside school. "There's a policy that if your child is having a party - unless every child is invited - you don't give out the invites in class." added Jane. "I think [it] is quite a good thing as you don't feel excluded." We also learned recently that George will go by George Cambridge at his new school, given that his parents are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
