Princess Kate gives rare insight into Prince Louis' school and its unusual activity
The future Queen has praised an activity that Lambrook have been doing in a class attended by her youngest son, Prince Louis.
The Princess of Wales has praised the education her youngest child has been receiving.
Princess Kate, who dedicates most of her royal work to mental health and young children, said last year that Prince Louis’ class at Lambrook School in Windsor were given a feelings wheel to help them understand their emotions.
Before giving a keynote speech at a symposium held by Princess Kate in 2023 at London’s Design Museum, the princess told presenter Fearne Cotton about the education that her youngest child receives at the school, which is attended by all three of her children.
Kate told Cotton: “Louis’ class, they came back with a feelings wheel, it’s really good… these are five or six-year-olds, and going with names or pictures of a colour that represents how they feel that day, so there is a real keenness in school particularly to get involved in conversations.”
The princess then held a speech as part of her Early Years Foundation work and called for “action at every level” to rebalance and restore society’s social and emotional skills.
Bracknell News said this comes after new research was published by the foundation last year just months after Kate launched an Early Years Shaping Up campaign as part of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
The aim is to highlight the significance of the formative years of a child’s life.

In the 2023 speech, the future Queen stressed the importance of the early years development of children and said those she had met at a “crisis point” in their lives had said that, for others to avoid their journey, a safe and loving childhood is needed.
Speaking at London’s Design Museum last year, the princess said: “Nurturing skills that enable us to know ourselves, manage our emotions, focus our thoughts, communicate with others, foster positive relationships, and explore the world are just as valuable to our long-term success as reading, writing or arithmetic.
“These skills are the bedrock, not only for helping children to thrive, but also for restoring, protecting and investing in humankind.
“So, to rebalance and restore calls for new thinking and action at every level. Because the future for our children is something we all build together, through the actions each of us takes every day.”
The long-term project which focuses on children’s wellbeing is said to be her “life’s work”, which she hopes will influence attitudes towards children in the early years period of their lives.

The princess first launched The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in June 2021.
On the Royal Foundation website, The Princess of Wales said: “By realising the extraordinary impact of early childhood and by learning more about how children grow, think and behave, I truly do believe we are on the cusp of one of the biggest opportunities for positive change in generations.”
It is believed Kate has been continuing to work on her campaign and early years work from home during her cancer recovery.
