24 Photos Of Princess Charlotte Making Silly & Cute Faces
She’s just so expressive.
This next generation of royals might not exactly follow the old stiff upper lip mindset of their ancestors. Especially not if these photos of Princess Charlotte making silly and cute faces are anything to go by. The hilariously expressive daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, is not about hiding her emotions, and truly we just love to see it.
Princess Charlotte is fourth in line to the throne, behind her grandfather Prince Charles, father, and 8-year-old brother Prince George. In fact, she made history as the first female member of the royal family to hold her place in line even after little brother Prince Louis was born in May 2018.
Regardless of her lofty position, 7-year-old Princess Charlotte still acts like a regular kid. A precocious little girl full of personality, yes, but a regular kid nonetheless. Even if there happens to be media lurking around, which is frequently the case for members of the royal family, Princess Charlotte always seems to just be herself. If she feels like crying or getting upset or even sticking her tongue out at someone, she’s going to do it. Cameras or no cameras. And thus, she has become a delight to us all.
Ski Bunny
Prince William and Kate Middleton took Princess Charlotte and her big brother, Prince George, for a ski holiday in the French Alps in 2016, and even though the young princess was too little to ski, she looked like she loved it.
Who Loves The Camera?
I think Princess Charlotte knew she was adorable when she and her family arrived in Victoria, Canada in 2016. She just loves the camera.
Less Than Impressed
Sometimes the funniest faces Princess Charlotte makes are when she looks annoyed, like she does here in Victoria, Canada in 2016. The side-eye she is giving...
Pucker Up
Princess Charlotte joined her family for church on Christmas Day in 2016 and let’s face it, she was already mastering her silly faces. Look at that little pucker.

A Royal Meltdown
When she joined her family on a tour of Germany and Poland in 2017, Princess Charlotte had no trouble letting her mother know when she had enough. And Middleton dealt with it like a pro.
Perfecting That Wave

Giving Them The Raspberry
In 2018, Princess Charlotte was a bridesmaid in her uncle Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle. And this was the first time she stuck her tongue out at the press. Not very bridesmaid-like, but a sign of the times to come.

You can tell by the look on her face what Princess Charlotte actually told members of the press at her brother Prince Louis’ christening in 2018: “You’re not coming.” Love it.
