Why Prince George is getting 'very upset' during coronavirus lockdown

Children across the country have been home-schooled for seven weeks during the coronavirus lockdown.

And while it's been a testing time for all, the Duchess of Cambridge has revealed that her eldest child Prince George is struggling with one part- his sister's work is a lot more interesting than his.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning to launch her new photograph project Hold Still, she explained: "George gets very upset because he wants too get involved in Charlotte’s projects."

"Making spider sandwiches is far cooler than doing literacy work."

Kate admitted she was finding it difficult explaining the "new normal" to George and Charlotte, who are old enough to understand.

Her children are extremely close to their grandparents, Prince Charles, Camilla and Carol and Michael Middleton, but haven't been able to see them for weeks, reports the Mirror.

Speaking on the programme, Kate said: "It's really hard.

"We hadn't done a huge amount of FaceTime and face calls but obviously we're doing that a lot more.

"And actually, it's been really great. We try to check in daily with family members and speak to them about news and things like that. In some ways we've got a lot more contact and a lot more face time than perhaps we would have done before.

"But it is difficult, it's hard to explain to a five and a six, nearly seven, year old what's going on.

"The schools have been great in supporting them as well.

"Hard times but we've got the support out there I think."
