Charlotte is the middle child of Prince William, 43, and Princess Kate, 44, and big sister to Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, 8. Insiders tell PEOPLE she shows strong character and a maturity beyond her years. Designers and palace sources note her confidence at public events, which appears to come naturally rather than being forced.
Outside official engagements Charlotte attends Lambrook School with her brothers; her parents are often seen supporting her at sports. She enjoys dance and plays piano, even performing on the keys during Kate's televised Christmas carol service in December 2025, showing a blend of normal childhood pursuits and royal composure.
