8 Facts About Princess Charlotte You Didn’t Know
Being a royal isn’t as easy as it seems, and neither is being a three-year-old. But Prince William and Kate Middleton’s second child, Princess Charlotte, is doing a great job at both. The middle child of three, young Charlotte has become a fan favourite, oftentimes stealing the show when she attends royal engagements with her family. Her natural charisma and cheekiness simple melt anyone who sees her, not to mention when she gets up to some antics alongside her two brothers, her big brother Prince George, and her little brother Prince Louis.
In many ways, Princess Charlotte is special, a pioneer of sorts, and a bright look into the future of the royal family. So here are a few facts you might not have known about the sweetest junior royal.
