'Feisty' Princess Charlotte Is More Outgoing Than Big Brother Prince George, Royal Expert Claims
Princess Charlotte is the "one in charge" among Prince William and Kate Middleton's three kids, according to their mom.
The Prince and Princess of Wales' only daughter turned 9 on Thursday. Cameron Walker, GB News royal reporter, paid tribute to the young royal, telling the viewers how "feisty" she was and sharing what Middleton said about her and Prince William's second child.
"She's very feisty, this 9-year-old girl. I think she's perhaps a little bit more outgoing than her brother Prince George," Walker said. "Princess Catherine described her recently as the one in charge. She was spotted reminding her older brother George, who of course, is the future king, to bow to the coffin of their great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, back in September 2022. She's also been known to keep her younger brother Prince Louis in check on several occasions."
Walker also shared how Princess Charlotte seemingly took over her younger brother when he waved to the public non-stop during their carriage ride at the 2022 Trooping the Colour and how she reacted when Prince Louis accidentally bumped into her head when they were on the balcony the following year for the same occasion.
"Prince Louis was, let's say, over-enthusiastic with his waving to the crowds in the carriage during Trooping the Colour last year, and Princess Charlotte just very calmly put her hand on his to calm him down a little bit," Walker shared.
"On the balcony, Prince Louis accidentally smacked his older sister in the head, which didn't go down too well with Princess Charlotte. But she clearly knew she was on display and did not make too much of a fuss and kind of let it slide. Perhaps in private, there was a bit more of a reckoning to be had with her younger brother."
Princess Charlotte was also seen seemingly directing her big brother, Prince George, to bow to their late great-grandmother at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. Despite her taking charge at some point, Jo Frost, an author, global parenting expert and English TV personality known for the reality TV program "Supernanny," believed that Prince William and Middleton's first and second children would not have the "heir and spare" drama.
"Charlotte knows the rules. She's the one in the middle. She knows how to keep everyone in good stead," Frost told the Mirror.
"There are moments when I've watched George, and he's looked over at his sister, and he's probably annoyed with her one minute and then grateful that she's there being able to remind him of things when he's taking it all in as well."
