Kate then gave a sweet insight into her parenting of Princess Charlotte, she said, "I’m trying to teach my daughter all the things you probably taught me."
Kate, who was 'shaped' by her mother for a royal passion, has recently launched the Shaping Us campaign which looks at the importance of the early years in childhood and has teamed up with Roman Kemp to talk about mental health too.
It's understood that Kate was taught history by Mr Embury in the mid-1990s.
When asked what sort of pupil she was, he replied, "I have to say fantastic. It was a great class and she was a great participant and a great kid. It was 25 years ago."
Kate has recently been supporting her eldest child Prince George by attending one of his rugby matches at Lambrook school where she was joined by rare sixth member of the family.
