Back in September, Prince George headed off for his first day of elementary school and just four months later, his little sister, Princess Charlotte, had that big milestone of starting school.

We’ve got plenty of details about the young royal’s first day at Willcocks Nursery School, and the answer to the question everyone wants to know: Why Princess Charlotte went to a different school than the Westacre Montessori School her big brother attended?

Just like with Prince George, Kensington Palace shared some photos taken by Kate Middleton of Princess Charlotte on her first day of nursery school and she looked absolutely adorable.

The princess was wearing a burgundy coat, gray tights, Mary Janes, and a pale pink scarf with a backpack of the same of the color — all of which are sure to sell out online.
