The late Queen Elizabeth once revealed what Princess Charlotte is like as a sister to Prince George and Prince Louis.

Charlotte, 9, is the Prince and Princess of Wales’s middle child – and is just shy of two years younger than George.

The young royal has often shown fans that she is a confident and self-assured little girl, with the late Queen previously commenting on Charlotte’s protective side.

During an outing back in January 2018, when Charlotte was just two, the late Queen asked ten-year-old student Emily Clay’s mum whether her eldest daughter looked after her younger sister.

As per Town & Country, Emily’s mum replied that it was “the other way around”, to which the late Queen shared that it was “like that with Charlotte and George”

Charlotte has often been seen looking out for Louis, 6, – but also 11-year-old George. She is, however, particularly protective over her younger brother, who was born in April 2018.

To celebrate Charlotte’s third birthday, Prince William and Princess Kate shared a sweet picture of the proud big sister holding Louis – who would have no more than a week-old in the picture. Charlotte was also spotted taking her role of big sister seriously and was seen sweetly holding onto Louis’ hand at the King’s coronation back in May 2023.

Previously speaking of the youngster, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! that Charlotte appears to be a “confident young lady”.

She told the publication: “Charlotte strikes me as quite a confident young lady but, with two brothers, she will no doubt be looking to her mother and other women in the family as role models – from her great-grandmother the Queen to her own mum. All three children have a claim to think of themselves as pretty special to their parents: George because he is the heir, Charlotte because she’s the only girl, and Louis because he’s the youngest.

“Charlotte is reaching the age when she can really appreciate her mother’s sense of style and they can share ‘girlie’ moments together. Catherine also provides the perfect role model for how to behave as a senior member of the Royal Family.”
