Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and Princess Catherine, has revealed her sassy and confident side, in addition to being known for her kindness and popularity. As she matures, it’s becoming clear that Charlotte is growing into a self-assured young lady.

A few years ago, Prince William shared a hilarious anecdote that showcased Charlotte’s bold personality. In a video posted by Mail Online, he mentioned how Charlotte, who was six years old at the time, would respond to questions about her age by confidently stating she was 16. William added that Charlotte often quipped, “I’m six now, I can do anything I want.” This glimpse into Charlotte’s cheeky nature charmed audiences, giving a lighthearted view of the young royal.

Now, at nine years old, Princess Charlotte continues to blossom into a happy and well-liked young girl. Attending the same school as her brothers—Prince George, aged 11, and Prince Louis, aged 5—Charlotte has made quite the impression. She is praised by her peers for being kind and friendly, further cementing her reputation as a delightful presence at school.

While the public is familiar with her royal title, at school, Charlotte is known simply as “Lottie Wales,” a nickname given to her by friends, which she reportedly loves. It’s also said that she has a strong rapport with students in the lower year groups, often showing kindness and taking on a natural leadership role.

This year, Charlotte has been visible at several high-profile royal events, such as the coronation of King Charles III, Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, and her attendance at Wimbledon, where she was warmly received by the public. During these engagements, Charlotte has often been seen taking charge, particularly when it comes to looking after her younger brothers, demonstrating her growing confidence.

Former BBC Royal journalist Jenny Bond commented on Charlotte’s confident demeanor, stating, “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.” Bond also emphasized that as Charlotte grows older, she will likely enjoy more “girly moments” with her mother, especially as she starts to appreciate Catherine’s sense of style.

Princess Catherine, who is regarded as an ideal example of how a senior royal should conduct themselves, undoubtedly provides a strong role model for her daughter. As Charlotte continues to mature, it’s clear she’s not only learning from the best but is also developing her own unique personality that blends both sass and grace.
