Over the years, the Duchess of Cambridge and her only daughter have proven to be quite the dynamic duo. Truly, Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte's sweetest moments caught on camera show that the mom of three deeply embraces all of the parts of her daughter's personality. Even when she's sticking her tongue out at people, she can't seem to help but laugh.

Prince William and Middleton welcomed little Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana on May 2, 2015. Princess Charlotte is the only girl in the family of three kids, but don't worry about her. It looks like she can hold her own with 7-year-old brother Prince George and 2-year-old brother Prince Louis.

While Prince William and Middleton try to keep their kids out of the public eye when possible, the glimpses royal fans have gotten of Princess Charlotte show a girl with some real personality. And perhaps it comes from the way her mother cheers her on. Even during a royal function when Prince William talked about Prince Louis' love of diggers, Middleton gently reminded him "don't forget Charlotte! She would love it too."

And moments just like those are what makes Princess Charlotte and Middleton's mother-daughter relationship so sweet.

Letting Her Find Her Feet

Not Sweet... But Real

Those Middleton Manners

It can't be easy for a kid to get dressed up on Christmas Day, leave their presents under the tree, and head off to church with people lining the streets hoping to talk to you.

A New Era

In 2020, there have not been a whole lot of chances to see Princess Charlotte. She spent much of the year in lockdown with her family at Anmer Hall in Norfolk County. But when the entire United Kingdom got together to applaud their healthcare workers in "Clap For Carers" in April 2020, you better believe the little girl joined the rest of the family to show her support.

Princess Charlotte has always been a sweet girl, thanks in no small part to her lovely relationship with her mom Kate Middleton.
