They are growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday that we were complaining that James was too young to go to Christmas Service.
 
I was very surprised when I found the photos of them skiing on the Legion Ru website. I only looked to see if there were any because the agency had photos of many other royal families skiing last week. I was lucky to discover there were images of the Wessex's!

They are both so grown up and Louise i'm sure gets taller every time we see her! James looks so small next to her.

Will Louise be going to a new school in the fall?
 
Yes. Her current school is only 3-13. Interesting to see if she goes to boarding school or a day school. She goes to the same school as Eugenie did. I wonder if she will attend Marlborough like Eugenie at thirteen.

I imagine she will head to Marlborough College too but that is only if her parents are keen for her to board. As countessmeout says, Eugenie attended Louise's current school then headed to Marlborough so I wouldn't be surprised if Louise did. Louise is also currently Head Girl at her school so that will stand in her favour for her new school.
 
It was nice to see the photos of the Wessex family skiing, it looks as if they were having a fun time. I can imagine that they have been back for a fairly long time now since half term finished last week here in England.

I didn't realise that Louise was the head girl at St. George's, that's nice to hear. IIRC Princess Beatrice was also the head girl at her secondary school (coincidentally also named St. George's).
 
Edward and Sophie attended a Matrix themed fancy dress party while they were in St Moritz.

Edward and Sophie = 2 + 2

Amazing.

I think Beatrice was also headgirl at her secondary school in Ascot. Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Prince Edward were Head Boy/Guardian at Gordonstoun as well.

Peter was head as well.

Beatrice and Eugenie both went to the same school until 2000. Ascot seems to have a program geared towards students with learning disabilities to help them excel. The school seemed a good choice as she excelled. Likely why her oatebts chose for her to remain there till she finished. Not certain why Eugenie never attended Ascot and went to Windsor instead.

Save Harry, all the grandkids seem to have excelled in school, the older ones.

I do hope Edward and Sophie find the best school. I wonder if Gordonstoun will be considered. Louise seems to be very outdoorsy and Edward enjoyed it. But I think we will likely see her at Marlborough.
