Britain’s Duchess Catherine and Prince William sent personalised letters to pupils who asked for help to save their school from closure.
The royal couple signed the notes of support after children at Chirton Church of England Primary School in Wiltshire asked if their son, seven-month-old Prince George, could be enrolled when he’s older in a bid to keep the school open after student numbers fell.
A statement on the school’s website reads: "After returning from our half term break we were delighted to discover that we had received a response from Kensington Palace following writing to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge before Christmas."
"Upon opening the package we were surprised to see that each of us had received a personal letter from the House of William and Kate!"
Headteacher Amy Bekker Wrench said she was "over the moon" to see the letters and added: "They just landed on my desk."
One young pupil, named Keeleigh, was told in her letter: "Their Royal Highnesses were impressed by your persuasive comments, you certainly made a wonderful case for Chirton Primary with its beautiful large grounds being the ideal school for Prince George."
In recent weeks the school has reported an increase in admissions and staff and pupils have been told the local authority has decided to keep it open.
