<Strong><a href="/tags/0/princess-charlotte">Charlotte</a></strong>, who has been looking forward to starting school for some time now, arrived holding her mom <a href="/tags/0/kate-middleton"><strong>Kate</a></strong>’s hand. <p>Photo: &copy; Aaron Chown - WPA Pool/Getty Images
The little girl had what looked like a brief moment of shyness (or playfulness) as she hid behind her mom while arriving at the school. <a href="/tags/0/kate-middleton"><strong>Kate</a></strong> looked thrilled for her two children as she beamed with excitement and happiness as she and <strong><a href="/tags/0/prince-william">William</a></strong> dropped them off. <p>Photo: &copy; Aaron Chown - WPA Pool/Getty Images
<strong><a href="/tags/0/kate-middleton">Duchess Kate</a></strong> appeared to recognize her daughter’s nerves and encourage her to push through them and meet the new experience with courage. So sweet! She’s the best mom! <p>Photo: &copy; Aaron Chown/AFP/Getty Images

The little girl, who royal watchers have said looks so much like a mini version of <strong><a href="/tags/0/queen-elizabeth-ii">the Queen</a></strong>, even waved! <p>Photo: &copy; Aaron Chown - WPA Pool/Getty Images
<strong>Helen Haslam</strong>, head of the lower school, met the new pupil and her brother outside. <p>Photo: &copy; Aaron Chown/AFP/Getty Images
Helen bent down to shake <a href="/tags/0/princess-charlotte"><strong>Charlotte</a></strong>’s hand, and Charlotte looked thrilled and excited to be saying hello! <p>Photo: &copy; Aaron Chown - WPA Pool/Getty Images
From there, the adorable family of four headed into the school so <strong><a href="/tags/0/princess-charlotte">Charlotte</a></strong> could start her big day. <p>Photo: &copy; Aaron Chown/AFP/Getty Images
