Princess Charlotte, the eight-year-old daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales, shares a special bond with her step-grandmother, Queen Consort Camilla.
A heartwarming moment between the two was captured during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, leaving royal fans delighted.
In a series of photographs, Princess Charlotte can be seen leaning across in the carriage to peek inside Queen Camilla’s handbag.
The seven-year-old princess looked elegant in a cornflower chiffon blue dress with bow detail by Patachou, her hair styled in a neat braid with a matching blue ribbon.
Fans speculated whether Queen Camilla had tucked sweets into her handbag to keep the children well-behaved.
One fan wrote, “I wonder if Camilla is the type of grandma that would smuggle sweets in her handbag for the kids to secretly… give them.”
Another fan shared a personal anecdote, saying, “My grandmother’s handbag always held something I needed when I was younger.
Money, sweets, gum, pen, and paper.
Fun to see that some things are the same for all of us.”
This is not the first time Princess Charlotte has caught the public’s attention during royal events.
She previously went viral for her playful tussle with Mia Tindall by the window at the Horse Guards Parade, as well as her attempt to calm Prince Louis’s enthusiastic waving.
During the Platinum Jubilee concert, Princess Charlotte proudly held a purple gift bag filled with goodies.
The bag came with a matching water bottle, perfect for staying hydrated throughout the three-hour-long event.
Charlotte and other members of the royal family also received small Union Jack flags to show their support for the performers.
While enjoying the festivities, Princess Charlotte waved the Jubilee flag enthusiastically.
In a wholesome clip, Prince George was spotted singing along to “Sweet Caroline” with his father, Prince William.
Despite the fun atmosphere, both George and Charlotte seemed a bit shy during the event.
However, they tried their best to smile politely, showcasing their training in the art of royal etiquette.
Spectators in the royal box were also seen wearing LED wristbands, possibly included as a fun addition to the gift bags.
After the platinum party at the palace, Charlotte joined her parents at the Platinum Jubilee pageant, where she received a different Fortnum & Mason gift bag.
Mike Tindall, speaking on his podcast, The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, shared some insights into the Jubilee weekend and the antics of the young royals.
He mentioned that Princess Charlotte, along with her siblings, was mischievous and full of energy.
Tindall revealed that there were plenty of sweets available, leading to a “real sugar high” among the children.
During the celebrations, Princess Charlotte showed her affection for her little brother by holding his hand.
She squinted in the sunshine as she looked out at the large crowd gathered to see them, displaying her growing confidence and support for her family.
The heartwarming bond between Princess Charlotte and Queen Camilla continues to captivate royal fans.
As the young princess grows older, she embraces her role with grace and charm, making her mark within the royal family.
