The Duchess of Cumberland channeled her inner Greek Goddess in a ruffled dress from Johnny Hates Jazz paired with nude heels. Phoebe styled her dress minimally with almost-bare make-up and soft wavy hair.

Both the Duke and Duchess thanked all the children for making them feel extremely welcome. They also commented on what a wonderful feel the school has and how lovely it was to see the positive values and messages throughout the learning environment. Daniel and Carys said: We really enjoying showing the Duke and Duchess around. They said lots of lovely things about our work and they were really nice."

A school spokesman said: " Along with celebrating our growing numbers of pupils, this was a fabulous way to start the new school year. "

"Phoebe will step down as President of GRID but she will remain CEO." Frederick announced to his grandmother and father.

"But she's a full time royal." Charles said.

"I'm eighth in line to the throne. There won't be much use for me soon so please respect my wife's decision to work while supporting the crown." Frederick said.

"Very well, Phoebe has always been practical and reliable so I am okay with her keeping her position as CEO as long as she does her royal duties." Elizabeth said.

"Has she chosen her patronages?" The Queen's Secretary asked.

"She has chosen ten plus the four the Queen has given her and the ones she already had." Frederick answered.

"Phoebe has been a patron for how many charities?" Charles asked.

"Ten." Frederick answered.

"So in total she will have twenty-four." Elizabeth said.
