'Britain's Favorite': Little Princess Charlotte is growing up to look like her great-grandmother, Elizabeth II. Charlotte, Princess of Cambridge is the newest star in the British Royal Family Photos of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge
When on May 1, 2017, the Duchess of Cambridge pleased her subjects with a new portrait of her daughter, who was supposed to be two the next day, there was no limit to the happiness of the fans. To the chagrin of many, Catherine and William continue to diligently protect the privacy of their children and show them to the public only in the most exceptional cases.
Photo of Charlotte in a yellow cardigan, of course, delighted all concerned. What a fortunate combination of circumstances, because in just twenty days a new baby was expected - at Aunt Pippa's wedding. In a striking way, history repeats itself this year: on the second of May, Charlotte turns three years old, and already on the 19th, we again expect to see the princess and her older brother at the wedding of their uncle Harry and his beloved Meghan Markle.
But this will happen only at the end of spring, but for now we remember how the third year of the little princess's life went.
So, the first secular exit of the already two-year-old princess, as expected, was the wedding of her aunt Pippa Middleton with billionaire James Matthews. Fortunately, the event was open to photographers, and the Duchess of Cambridge did not insist that her children be hidden from the lenses. As a result, we had a great opportunity to see "live" at little Charlotte, who at this event tried herself as a flower girl. We admit that the girl looked charming - a dress with a powdery bow looked like a real princess attire, and a wreath - like a full-fledged tiara.
It seems that spring and summer are destined to become the most generous period for royal babies. So, less than a month after the wedding of Pippa Middleton, George and Charlotte, following the tradition, joined the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the Trooping the Color parade. Last year, the event, which celebrates the official birthday of the monarch, fell on June 17th. By the way, this is one of the brightest royal events of the summer, so members of the family of Elizabeth II can only miss it for a very good reason.
Her Majesty allows only newborn family members not to be brought to the show, because loud noises (including from jet aircraft) can disturb babies. For Charlotte, this was already her second "balcony" exit. The Duchess, it is worth noting, again did not change her ideas about family style and perfectly coordinated the outfits of the children with her own. So, the little princess appeared before the public in a pink dress of the same style with puffed sleeves and a playful collar, with a red bow in her hair and matching shoes.
Unlike her brother, who is always overjoyed at the sight of military equipment, Charlotte remained remarkably calm as she watched the parade more thoughtfully than enthusiastically.
However, it was not without emotion on her part either.

And a month later, Charlotte was to go on her second royal tour - this time around Poland and Germany. This trip, as usual, was even more important than the tour of Canada in 2016, but in general terms, the goal was still the same - to charm the locals so that, along with love for the Cambridge family, love for all of Great Britain woke up here. . The Dukes' tour of Poland and Germany was ordered by the British Foreign Office (Foreign Office) in order to smooth the outcome of Theresa May's Brexit negotiations. The task is responsible in every sense - which means that you cannot do without the super-cute George and Charlotte.
Landing at Warsaw airport on July 17, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge immediately played their main trump card by showing the Poles their children. And although Prince George was slightly capricious that day, his sister Charlotte was at her best: the girl enthusiastically waved to the hosts of the reception, but did not express unnecessary emotions, maintaining a truly aristocratic dignity.
By the way, on the same day, Her Highness demonstrated her first successes in fashion diplomacy. Rather, her mother demonstrated them, or more precisely the stylist of the Cambridge, but the fact remains: the red and white dress on the girl definitely evoked associations with the national flag of Poland.
The tour of the Dukes of Cambridge lasted for five whole days, but, interestingly, it was possible to see George and Charlotte only at the airfields. The rest of the time, while their parents were visiting, the kids stayed with the nannies. However, given how rarely we see the prince and princess in general, their rare appearances near the aircraft were quite enough.
So, on July 19, Kate, William and their children went from Warsaw to Berlin, having previously dressed in such a way as to please the new host - in cornflower blue (this flower is one of the national symbols of Germany). Probably neither George nor Charlotte were in the mood that morning to show off their royal upbringing.
The princess, for example, was so tired of the long farewell to the Poles that she even began to persistently pull her mother by the hand towards the gangway. And as soon as she reached him, Charlotte so wanted to be in a comfortable chair as soon as possible that she even refused to go to her mother in her arms, but began to literally climb the stairs on her own.
About an hour later, the plane of the Dukes of Cambridge landed at the airport in Berlin. It seems that during the flight, Princess Charlotte was able to overcome all irritation in herself, and Her Highness appeared before the Germans in a great mood. However, the girl had no reason to be sad: Germany met her with a bright sun, warmth and flowers. Yes, yes, the courteous hosts made sure that the little princess received a mini-copy of her mother's bouquet.
It must be said that Charlotte liked the gift so much that she literally did not let the flowers out of her hands, posing with pleasure for journalists with a bouquet.

For Germany, the Dukes of Cambridge also did not make any exceptions and did not take children out into the world throughout the entire tour. Their last day in Germany was held in the city of Hamburg, and it was from the local airport that the august family was supposed to go home.
Finally, the hospitable Germans decided to give the dukes and their children a farewell gift - namely, they allowed George and Charlotte to sit in the newest helicopter of the Franco-German company Airbus. The prince, of course, was delighted with this surprise, but his sister was much more comfortable on earth. The girl immediately demanded to return it back.
The heiress was much more interested in the pieces of paper that her mother gave her to hold. When the duchess tried to return the pile back, the princess ... became capricious. Yes, yes, just like the most ordinary child, the fourth in line for the British throne began to stomp her feet menacingly and cry, and when all her arguments dried up, the girl fell picturesquely (even, rather, sat down) on the ground. So we first got acquainted with the character of the princess.

As you know, the Duchess of Cambridge strictly forbids children from throwing tantrums in public. So just a few of her words were enough for the girl to wipe her eyes with her fists and jump to follow her mother to the plane.
Since then, we saw Prince George again on his first day at Thomas's Battersea school, but we had to wait for his sister's new release for many more months. In this expectation, the trick of the Dukes of Cambridge, who on December 18 published the traditional a Christmas card, the photo for which was taken even before William and Kate's tour of Poland and Germany.There was no limit to the disappointment of the fans, because so many interesting things had happened over the past six months: the prince went to school, the duchess became pregnant with her third ... And the photo turned out to be so protocol and cloying that even the most loyal to the Cambridge family persistently suggested that they take an example from their Swedish neighbors.
Dissatisfaction with the act of the Duke and Duchess only intensified on the evening of December 21, when Her Majesty gave a traditional Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace, to which all family members were invited. That evening, it was possible to look at Kate Middleton's son and daughter only thanks to the paparazzi, who were able to photograph George and Charlotte, who were sitting in the back seat of the car.
The shots turned out to be not of the highest quality, but even from them it was perfectly clear how the princess had grown up: her hair became longer and thicker, and her face was slightly stretched. But the style of Her Highness remained unchanged: the same style of dress, again a knitted cardigan, a bow in her hair ...
On January 8, 2018, an important and responsible day awaited Charlotte: the princess went to kindergarten for the first time ( we talk about it here:). And quite unexpectedly on this occasion, Catherine allowed Kensington Palace to release a new photo of her daughter. According to a long-forgotten tradition, the author of the picture was herself.
Now we have the opportunity to look at a noticeably grown Charlotte in good quality pictures. The girl, as always, was dressed conservatively, appearing in a straight burgundy Amaia Kids coat, tights and Mary Jane shoes. The ensemble was complemented by pink accessories - a scarf and a small backpack.
Finally, 10 days before Charlotte's own birthday, her brother was born. The baby was born on April 23 at St. Mary's Hospital - in the same place where he and George were born. Of course, on the same day, proud dad William brought his son and daughter to the maternity hospital to see their mother so that they would be among the first to meet their new family member.
Charlotte seems to have grown even more in recent months. Obviously, the girl, like her mother, was very lucky with her hair, but everything else the princess seems to have inherited from her great-grandmother. Yes, on that day, the phenomenal resemblance of Charlotte and Elizabeth II became even more noticeable.
We have been following the growth of Princess Charlotte since her birth. Read also:

The second child of Kate Middleton and Prince William was born in the same hospital as Prince George: in the private Lingo Wing clinic at St Mary's Hospital in London. The girl was born at 8:34 London time. The child weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces (3.71 kg).
Kate and William named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles (Charlotte is the female version of the name Charles) and Princess Diana, who tragically died in a car accident.
Immediately after birth, in accordance with the British monarchical rules for the title of royalty, Charlotte received the right to be called "Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge."
On July 5, 2015, Princess Charlotte was christened at the Church of St Mary Magdalene (Norfolk County). It was in this church that her grandmother, Lady Diana, was baptized. During the ceremony, the girl was dressed in a baptismal shirt - a copy of the outfit created in 1841.
The godmothers are: Sophie Carter, Kate Middleton's best friend, James Mead and Thomas Van Straubenzee, Prince William's friends from school, Adam Middleton, Kate's cousin and Laura Fellows, a relative of the princess
Despite this, the heiress is already the favorite of her people. Attention to Charlotte was riveted even before her birth. During Kate Middleton's pregnancy, the British made bets according to which she was supposed to give birth on the night of April 25, but this never happened. The baby appeared already on May 2, which incredibly surprised everyone. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana received her second name in honor of her great-grandmother, and the third in honor of her grandmother, who left our world in 1997.

By the way, Charlotte was baptized in St. Mary's Church. Like her brother George, daughter Kate Middleton appeared before the public in a special, traditional lace shirt. Back in 1841, the daughter of Queen Victoria was baptized in this outfit. Later it was tried on by Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince William and his brother Harry. And since 2004, the legendary christening gown has become a relic, and babies from the British royal family began to dress up in an exact copy of the same historical clothes.

With the advent of baby Charlotte, a real fashion boom began! Immediately after the traditional photo shoot, when her famous parents posed with the princess on the steps of St. Mary's Hospital, the British simply swept souvenirs with the image of a newborn from the shelves. After that, the people strove to dress their children in exactly the same clothes that little Charlotte was dressed in. By the baby's second birthday, her popularity had already brought about a billion pounds to the UK economy. And all because Kate prudently dressed up Charlotte mainly in outfits from English brands. This patriotism has had an incredibly positive impact on the development of small businesses in the country. The princess and her mother favored children's fashion collections Fina Ejerique, Early Days, Pepa & Co, Amaia Kids.

Since January 2018, Charlotte of Cambridge has been attending a kindergarten, which is located near Kensington Palace. Her famous parents specifically chose a public institution in which children from ordinary families study. Even after the birth of her younger brother Louis, she did not lose her status as the favorite of the British. And all because the older she gets, the more like a queen. Insiders say that Elizabeth II simply does not like the soul in Charlotte and spends a lot of time with her. Well, that's not surprising.
