Like many parents around the world amid the coronavirus pandemic,Queen Elizabeth’s grandson-in-law is getting creative when it comes to homeschooling his two daughters — Mia, 7, and Lena, 2 — with wife Zara. On Wednesday, Mike shared a photo to Instagram of his face covered in paint and his beard turned yellow and orange.
Back in May, Mikeopened up about the difficultiesof transitioning from dad to at-home teacher to Mia.
“I get to be a teacher in the mornings — which is sometimes really nice, sometimes really frustrating,” he told theDaily Telegraphabout life inside the couple’s home on mother-in-lawPrincess Anne’sGatcombe Park Estate. “[Mia] can be brilliant one minute, and then something you’ve seen her do a thousand times she’ll just go, ‘I don’t know how to do that.’ And then you go, ‘Well, I know you do.’ "
And when Mia returned to in-classroom learning, Mikeshared a relatable GIFon Twitter.
“Me after school drop off this morning!” he wrote alongside a meme of Forrest Gump sprinting out of the gates of his home.
A spokesman saidQueen ElizabethandPrince Philipwere aware of the news and are “delighted.”
