The Cambridge children are anything but camera shy, but Princess Charlotte can give her brothers a run for their money in the photo-op stakes.
During a “surprise” appearance with her parents at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham this week, “cheeky” Charlotte amused onlookers by pulling a “variety of funny faces” and “rolling her eyes following a comment from her father” as they watched swimmers compete, said LBC.
The seven-year-old was “clearly in her element”, said Women & Home, and is “just as cheeky as her dad at the same age”.
Charlotte has also been compared to her late grandmother Princess Diana. Body language expert Judi James told the Daily Express that like Diana, the young princess “gives the initial impression of shyness but beneath that appears to be an outgoing, fun personality”.
“She grins, she grimaces, she pouts,” said The Times, which concluded that Charlotte “is a royal photographer’s delight”.
Here are some of the most memorable snaps of her playing up to the cameras.
Poolside, 2022
Charlotte’s Commonwealth Games visit was her first public appearance with her parents without either of her brothers, four-year-old Louis and nine-year-old George. The princess looked “curious and, occassionally, a little apprehensive” as the crowd cheered on competitors in the 1,500m freestyle race, said The Times.
Buckingham Palace, 2018
Charlotte has repeatedly been snapped sticking out her tongue, including during celebrations in July 2018 of the centenary of the Royal Air Force. The then three-year-old struck her signature pose while peeking through a Buckingham Palace alongside Prince George as a royal aide looked on.
Beaufort Polo Club, 2018
Charlotte had “showed off her sunny personality” weeks earlier by “entertaining” her family “with quite the gymnastics display” during a day out at the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy at the Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire, said Hello! magazine.
