The event is said to have taken place last month and was designed for parents from the £6,000-a-term Thomas’s Battersea school to get to know one another.

The Duchess reportedly used a door located in a rear alley in order to avoid being spotted.

According to the Mail On Sunday, the door was previously installed for use by Prince Harry.

Princess Charlotte started at the school in September while Prince George headed into Year Two. The youngster, who appeared slightly shy, was joined by her mum, dad and brother on her first day.

At the time, a source said Charlotte couldn’t wait to start “big school”.

They told People magazine: “She can’t wait to be with George at big school. She is so excited about it all. They are close in age, and they spend so much time together. Playdates [with outsiders] can be tricky, so they learn to lean on each other.”
