Prince William 'kicking himself' over clash with Prince George's exams
Prince George's exams will take place in November
PA / GETTY
Prince William is said to be "kicking himself" over his Earthshot Prize Awards clashing with Prince George's exams in November, a royal commentator has claimed.
Princess Kate confirmed she would be staying in the UK to help her eldest son prepare for his exams, leaving the Prince of Wales to travel to Singapore alone.
George's exams will likely decide whether or not he will be accepted into the top ranking Eton College, which is located very near his Windsor home Adelaide Cottage.
A royal commentator has said the Princess of Wales made the "best decision" to remain in the UK.

Jennie Bond said: "I cheered out loud when I learned that Catherine had chosen to stay home with George.
"It’s absolutely the right decision. Official duties will come and go; children need their parents, and they grow up fast.
"There will be more Earthshot events and prizes.
"But this year, George has his own big event going on - exams.

"It is entirely right that his mum should be there to help him through them.
"I expect William is kicking himself that his schedule clashes with George’s exams, but he will be wholly supportive of Catherine staying home to help their son," she told OK!.
