Prince Charles on grandson George’s first day at school

Shooting for ITN News in Scotland we caught a quick interview with Price Charles and recorded the Royal Editor, Chris Ship’s video report.

Speaking to ITN News about his grandson’s first day at school, Prince Charles joked to Royal Editor Chris Ship that he had not given the youngster any advice ahead of his big day as he “wouldn’t take it from me at that age”.

The Prince of Wales added that school is “good” for children, jesting that it is “character building”. He continued he “hoped” that George would be happy at his new school, and empathised with the “poor old thing” who appeared anxious as he walked into his new school to join the rest of his reception class.

The 68-year-old conceded that “at that age you don’t worry quite so much about going to school as you do when you get a bit older” and the “business of meeting new people.”
