Lily Allen has called for children to receive lessons on childbirth and parenting while they are at school.
The singer, 39, previously attended a total of 13 schools during her childhood, including King Charles III’s junior alma mater Hill House School.
But speaking on an episode of her Miss Me? podcast, Lily shared that there are several key topics that she feels children need to be taught while they are school, that will help set them up for adulthood.
She said: ‘Tax and finances but also marriage and divorce – children should be taught about and what the implications of those are of those contracts.
‘Childbirth and what that actually means, what bringing a child into the world entails and what effect that can have on your life, other than just having a little baby that’s very sweet and nice to play with and cuddle.’

Lily previously defended her decision to send her daughters Ether, 12, and Marnie, 11, despite her own misgivings about her time at private school.
The Not Fair hitmaker responded to a question from a listener, who was nervous about sending her own child to a private school.
‘I think there are great public schools and there are great private schools,’ she said, ‘so I don’t think that it neccessarily is about one or the other, it’s about what is available to you in your area, in which you live.’
Lily said that when she and her daughters lived in London, they attended a ‘really great’ school, before adding: ‘When we moved to America they went to public school here until the end of elementary school, and then we switched them to private school.
‘That was not because I disagreed with the public schooling system, it was because there is a lottery here in Brooklyn, where we live, and the school that was offered to Ethel was a) too far away for us to commute, and b) I didn’t like the school, I didn’t think it was a very good school.
‘So that was the option that was afforded to her and we had the resources to do something else, and I made that decision.’
In a prior episode, Lily said that she felt self-conscious about her own lack of education, telling co-host Miquita Oliver: ‘I’m not educated. I left school when I was 15 and I don’t even have one GCSE, not one qualification, and I am ashamed of it.’
‘I really wanted to go into midwifery or obstetrics because that was something that really interested me, but because I didn’t have any diplomas in GCSEs or A Levels it seemed too difficult, too much. I was too lazy.

‘And actually too embarrassed, I thought I’d have to go and do my A Levels with a bunch of 18 year olds and I was already in my mid-thirties. I didn’t wanna do that.’
Lily, who married Stranger Things star David Harbour in 2020, also previously detailed her decision to relocate her daughters to the US.
She shared: ‘One of the reasons I moved here is because I feel like it’s a much more encouraging environment in which my children can thrive.
‘Just an example of that would be when I decided to do a play even though I’d never acted before and certainly didn’t have any experience in the theatre.
‘When I would tell Americans about it, they’d be like: “Oh my God, that’s so exciting! You’re gonna learn so much, you’re gonna kill it!”
‘And then when I’d tell English people about it they’d be like: “A play? Have you ever done that before? Aren’t you scared?”
‘Culturally, we’re just very different.’
