With their youngest child, Louis, expected to join his siblings at school this September, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge must be very much used to early morning school runs by now.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte are both pupils at Thomas's Battersea Prep School in the capital, in Year Four and Year Two respectively, according to MyLondon.
Currently, Louis is completing his final year at The Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington, and is set to be donning Thomas's' uniform alongside elder siblings George and Charlotte in September.

Although it is probably thrilling for the parents of the young royal's friends to get a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during the school run, something many parents find mundane, it appears they are not the only source of excitement on the playground.
A source told the Daily Mail that other parents in the playground are more invested in another famous face.
They said: "No one really gives Kate a second glance when she does the school drop-off.
"We have a Victoria's Secret model doing the school run, too, and the dads are far more interested in her."
Two other royal parents can be spotted on the school run - Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor. Their daughter, Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina, is thought to be a classmate of her distant cousin Prince George.
Maud's mother, Lady Frederick Windsor, is actress Sophie Winkleman, who you might recognise from her appearance in Peep Show as Big Suze, or her role in Bristol-filmed drama Sanditon as Lady Susan.
But members of the Royal Family bumping into models is nothing new.
The late Princess Diana played an after-school prank on Prince William one day, when she invited a host of supermodels to their home.
In an interview to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Diana's tragic death, William said: "Just outside this room where we are now, she organised, when I came home from school to have Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell waiting at the top of the stairs.
"I was probably a 12 or 13-year-old boy who had posters of them on his wall.
“And I went bright red and didn’t know quite what to say and sort of fumbled and I think I pretty much fell down the stairs on the way up. I was completely and utterly sort of awestruck.
“That was a very funny memory that’s lived with me forever about her, loving and embarrassing and being the sort of joker.”
