Rumor has it that a certain Cambridge child can be a bit sassy, but you'll see that these photos of Princess Charlotte from over the years are just further evidence of the young royal's innate coolness and adorable attitude. Even when Princess Charlotte is meant to be perfecting her curtsy for Queen Elizabeth or her royal wave, it doesn't look like she ever breaks a sweat.
Princess Charlotte came into the world on May 2, 2015 and truly, almost from birth that little girl was proving she had a big personality. She might be the younger sister of Prince George, the future King of England, but that doesn't mean she steps back from the spotlight. Nor does being the middle child after her brother Prince Louis was born in 2018. In fact, at that time, Princess Charlotte proved to be something of a trailblazer in the royal family by being the first female not to lose her place in line to the throne to her younger brother.
Since her birth back in 2015, Princess Charlotte has made headlines around the world simply by virtue of always being herself. Behaving how she likes without concern for cameras or her royal title.
Eye Roller In The Pram
Princess Charlotte's christening in July 2015 might have been attended by Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and many other members of the royal family, but she looked like she was rolling her eyes in the pram. Bored with the whole scene.
Getting In Some Shut-Eye
It looked as thought the royal christening failed to impress Princess Charlotte on a visceral level. She actually just went to sleep like she couldn't be bothered.
Canada Can't Hold Her Attention
Royal tension tends to get people weirdly excited, but when Kate Middleton was having words with her son Prince George in Canada in 2016, Princess Charlotte was just trying to get away. Presumably to find some poutine...
Just A Candy Cane?
Kate Middleton and her two children in Bucklebury, Berkshire, on Christmas Day in 2016, where they were evidently given candy canes. Princess Charlotte's face tells me she was hoping for more.
Leaving It For Her Fans
I guess the candy cane did not make the trip back to her Middleton grandparents' country estate with her. Maybe one of her fans found it.
Not Listening, Dad
At Princess Charlotte's first Trooping The Colour in 2016, her dad Prince William looked as though he was trying to get her to pay attention. Nope.
Wake Me When We Get To The Palace
In 2017, Princess Charlotte joined her parents for the annual royal luncheon at Buckingham Palace and she looked like she was ready to sleep through the entire event.
So Mad She's Levitating
When the Cambridges arrived for a royal tour of Germany at the Hamburg airport in 2017, Princess Charlotte had a melt-down... or a melt-up since she looks like she's so mad she's going to levitate.
More Fans, How Embarrassing
The royal watchers of Warsaw, Poland were treated to a visit from the royal family in 2017, but Princess Charlotte was keeping to herself. Having so many adoring fans must be tiring.
Just Leave Me On The Tarmac
Back in Germany, it looks like Princess Charlotte's levitating fit stopped and so she just dropped to the ground, reporters or no reporters.
Still Just Planes, Huh?
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge manage to revel in the majesty of the planes flying overhead during the Trooping The Colour. Princess Charlotte didn't even open her eyes.
Wow. A Helicopter.
Not even a helicopter tour with her mom making a huge fuss (look at Kate Middleton's smile) could interest Princess Charlotte in Hamburg, Germany.
Can I Help You?
I don't know if someone said something to annoy Princess Charlotte when she was a flower girl at the 2018 wedding of Princess Eugenie, but they might want to knock it off. She looks irritated.
That's Not What Baskets Are For
In 2017, Princess Charlotte did her first tour of duty as a flower girl for her aunt Pippa Middleton. She didn't look like she was taking it too seriously; I think you are not meant to lick the basket you are carrying.
Won't Anyone Say "Bless You?"
Sneezing is difficult to contain, even when a kid is on official duty at the 2018 wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. But it looks to me like Princess Charlotte wouldn't hold it back even if she could.
It's A New Royal Trend, Maybe?
Sticking her tongue out at photographers from the limo, on the other hand, was definitely something Princess Charlotte could have stopped herself from doing. But where is the fun in that?
She's A Human Emoji
At Princess Eugenie's wedding in 2018, Princess Charlotte gave the sign that she has truly had enough of all the pageantry. The classic face palm.
This Is My Lap Now
Princess Charlotte was a new big sister when she joined her mom and brother at the Maserati Royal Charity polo at the Beaufort Polo Club in June 2018. And here is a picture of her subtly reclaiming her mom's lap while looking pensively off in the distance holding sunglasses.
"You're Not Coming"
At Prince Louis' christening, Princess Charlotte famously told photographers waiting outside, "You're not coming!" and Prince William could not have looked more proud.
A Precedent Has Been Set
So what if she's royalty attending the King's Cup Regatta in August 2019? When she wants to stick her tongue out, Princess Charlotte is just going to do it.
I'd Rather Be In My P.J.'s At Home
Princess Charlotte joined the rest of the royal family at St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham for Christmas services in 2019. Who knows, perhaps she would have preferred to stay home.
Photographers Again?
Princess Charlotte gives photographers a good old Christmas glare for their present in 2019.
Half-Hearted Waving Is The New Slam
Princess Charlotte joined big brother Prince George at Thomas's Battersea School in London last September. She stopped just shy of sticking out her tongue, but her half-hearted wave said it all.
Not When I'm Getting My Snacks, Please
Nobody wants to be photographed when they're rooting around in the trunk of their car for snacks, and Princess Charlotte proved no exception in July 2019 at her dad's polo match.
Polite Clapping With A Helping Of Side-Eye
Princess Charlotte joined her parents for the United Kingdom's "Clap For Carers" campaign at the outset of the lockdown in April. She looked very sweet. With a little side-eye. Just how we all like her.
These Are My Balloons
The young princess laid claim to a stack of balloons taller than herself at a 2016 party in Victoria, Canada.
The King Whisperer
During a Christmas visit to a pantomime show at the Palladium Theatre in London in December 2020, Princess Charlotte seemed to be putting on her own whisper show for big brother Prince George.
Emotional Audience Member
The Christmas pantomime was apparently too much for the young princess, as she huddled into mom Kate Middleton to hide from the action. No small responses from this girl.
Striking A Pose
Princess Charlotte struck a pose with mom Kate Middleton and brother Prince George at her dad's polo match in 2018.
Happy Little Snow Bunny
In March 2016, Princess Charlotte visited the French Alps with her parents and looks like she took to the cold just fine.
These Flowers Will Suffice, Thank You
Princess Charlotte inspected a bouquet of flowers upon arrival in Victoria, Canada in 2016. She appears to approve, albeit begrudgingly.
She Prefers A Personal Bouquet
Princess Charlotte is a girl who knows what she wants, and in this case it seems to be a personal bouquet of flowers just for her when she arrived on a royal tour of Germany in 2017.
Not Right Now, Louis
At a polo match in 2019, Prince Louis reached for his big sister. She was busy eating and ignored him.
Is She Using The Force On Reporters?
I'm sorry, but it looks to me like Princess Charlotte was trying to use the Force on reporters as she left Princess Eugenie's wedding in 2018.
Attention Stealer
Planes were in the air but all eyes of the royal family were on Princess Charlotte at the 2018 Trooping The Colour, including Queen Elizabeth herself.
