Arthur and Dorothy’s first day at school comes after a summer spent with their parents.
In a previous Instagram post, Angel revealed that the family made some special memories during the children’s free time, both at their 19th-century home in France and on vacation.
“We hope your summer was filled with memories and adventures,” she wrote. “It was very special for us. We traveled to see friends and family, visited the beach, made some changes to the Walled Garden and most importantly… spent a lot of time together as a family.”

In a previous interview with HELLO!, Angel opened up about raising her two children and said that while her “path has always been business,” she wanted to “create a world where we work from home so we can be with the kids every day.
“This worked, and when we see Arthur and Dorothy happy, open, generous and kind, our hearts sing (said the biased mom!),” she added.

The 45-year-old went on to say that she encourages her children to “learn on the job.” “So we try to get them involved in all kinds of projects from crafting, cooking and gardening,” she explained, adding: “They love it – kids are like sponges and soak up all the experiences you give them…”
The family have a busy few months ahead and will soon return to the UK for their book launch in October, before returning again for their theater play Forever Home (avec le nitty gritty), next year.
