Speaking to Hello, Sophie revealed the close bond between the young royal cousins saying: “We were invited to tea at Kensington Palace just before Princess Charlotte was born.

“Maud and George got on very well…He is a very clever, articulate little boy and was speaking long before other toddlers his age.”

Members of the public will have seen Maud as she was pictured next to Princess Charlotte as they both served as bridesmaids at Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank in 2018.

Prince George has a taster day at Lambrook School near the estate which offers incredible facilities including a nine-hole golf course, scuba diving classes and a polo field.
