Princess Kate's surprise school run first day post-birth

Princess Kate showcased her dedication as a mother when she completed the school run just hours after giving birth to her youngest son, Prince Louis. 

On April 23, 2018, the now Princess of Wales made headlines as she stood with Prince William on the steps of St Mary's Hospital in London, proudly introducing their newborn to the world. 

Wrapped snugly in a white blanket and knitted hat, baby Louis waved to the press as his beaming parents cradled him.

But the royal duties didn’t stop there; shortly after this public debut, Kate was determined to fulfill her role as a devoted mom by attending Prince George's school drop-off. 

Just five years old at the time, George was enrolled at Thomas's Battersea, an elite co-educational institution boasting a theatre, gymnasium, ballet room, pottery room, and two libraries, not to mention a rooftop playground.

An onlooker remarked to the Daily Mail, "No one really gives Kate a second glance when she does the school drop-off," highlighting how seamlessly she blends into the school community. 

Interestingly, Kate wasn’t the only high-profile parent at the school gates, as a Victoria’s Secret model was also among the other notable moms. 

She has shown remarkable dedication to her royal duties, barely taking time off before or after the births of her children. 

With Prince George, she worked right up until she was eight months pregnant and made her return to royal engagements just five weeks after giving birth, when George was only a month old.

The Duchess of Cambridge maintained a similar approach with her only daughter, Princess Charlotte, continuing her commitments until she was eight months pregnant.

However, this time, Kate allowed herself a bit more time to adjust to motherhood, returning to royal duties when Charlotte was four months old. 

Her commitment to balancing family life with her responsibilities reflects her strong work ethic and dedication to her role as a member of the royal family.
