LONDON - Britain's Prince George began his first day at school on Thursday. Holding hands with his father Prince William, 4-year-old George arrived at Thomas's Battersea school, a preparatory school in southwest London.

His mother, Princess Catherine, wasn't able to accompany him because she was suffering from severe morning sickness with her third pregnancy.

Media reported that during the school time, Prince George will put on his uniform includes navy shorts and jacket, long red socks and black shoes. George has joined a class of 20 other pupils and has his own desk and peg with his name on.

Previously, Prince George attended nursery at the Westacre Montessori School, in Norfolk. His move to London coincides with his parents' decision to move their main residence to Kensington Palace, as Prince William takes on more royal duties.
