Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of the heir to the throne, holds a unique position within the royal family.
Although she is not yet a working royal, it is evident that she is on her way to playing a significant role in the British monarchy.
This position has previously been held by her great-aunt, Princess Anne, who is known as the Princess Royale.
As Charlotte grows older and more confident in her position, we can expect to see even more similarities between her and her great-aunt.
In a surprising appearance on Mike Tindall’s podcast, Princess Anne provided some intriguing insights into the sibling rivalry among the next generation of royals, particularly Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
It seems that the spirit of competition runs deep within the British royal lineage and has also found its way into the hearts of the young royals.
Curious about whether William and Catherine’s three children inherited their competitive streak, Mike posed the question.
Princess Anne, being the wise aunt, offered a rare glimpse into the dynamics among the siblings.
“I would suggest Catherine weighed in on the matter,” Princess Anne shared, emphasizing the uniqueness of each child’s temperament.
“What’s interesting is that they all obviously have very different temperaments,” she explained.
“As they’re growing and trying out different sports, they’re obviously still really young.
It’s going to be interesting to see how that grows and develops.”
Having the support of siblings can make a world of difference, as Princess Anne knows firsthand.
Throughout King Charles’ life, Princess Anne has been a great source of support for him.
The pressure of being the future heir to the throne is undoubtedly a lot for Prince George to consider.
Fortunately, his younger sister Charlotte is always there to make him laugh and share a giggle.
On numerous occasions, the pair has charmed royal onlookers by displaying their close bond during royal engagements.
Princess Charlotte has shown her sense of responsibility at public appearances, often taking the lead alongside her brothers.
During the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, she even advised her elder brother George on royal protocol.
Her impressive knowledge of pomp and pageantry demonstrated her commitment to her royal duties and support for her brother.
Charlotte could be seen telling George to show respect as the Queen’s coffin passed them, with an attentive expression as she said, “You need to bow.”
Not only does Princess Charlotte take her responsibilities seriously, but she also keeps her younger brother Prince Louis in check.
During the Jubilee pageant, she led the way in a royal carriage, encouraging her brothers to wave to the crowds.
She even reprimanded four-year-old Prince Louis when he became overly excited.
It is clear that Charlotte is following in the footsteps of Princess Anne, taking charge and displaying a sense of maturity beyond her years.
Royal experts have speculated that Princess Charlotte could become the next Princess Royal, following in the footsteps of her great-aunt.
Rebecca English, royal editor, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “I really see Charlotte as like a little mini-me Princess Anne.
I love the way she’s in charge of her brothers and the slight eye-rolling whenever they do something naughty.
She’s got a great streak of Princess Anne in her.”
Royal contributor Victoria Murphy also believes that Charlotte has the potential to become the Princess Royal, highlighting the similarities between the dynamics of Charles and Anne, and George and Charlotte.
However, it will ultimately be up to Prince William, when he becomes king, to decide if and when Charlotte receives the title.
In addition, there has been speculation that Prince Louis could potentially become the next Duke of Edinburgh, along with rumors that Charlotte could also hold the title of Duchess of Edinburgh.
The possibilities are exciting, and it would certainly be a delight to have a Duchess of Edinburgh in the future.
