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.
Smelling The Flowers Together
Just a year later, Princess Charlotte joined her big brother Prince George and their parents on a Canadian royal tour in 2016, and the little girl shared a nice moment smelling the flowers together.
Royal Music Maker
During a party for military families in Victoria, British Columbia, Princess Charlotte looked like she was having a blast with a little music maker.
The Look Of Love
When Kate Middleton was helping Princess Charlotte with her cardigan at that same party, the little girl looked at her mom with complete adoration.
Letting Her Find Her Feet
Parents of toddlers know how much little ones like to get their feet under them and walk independently, and Princess Charlotte was no different. When she was leaving church on Christmas Day with her mom and grandparents, Carole and Tony Middleton, in Bucklebury, Berkshire, she was leading the way.
Not Sweet... But Real
During a royal visit to Germany in 2017, Princess Charlotte had a little meltdown on the tarmac. And while the moment couldn't quite be defined as "sweet," it was definitely relatable.
Flowers Fix Everything
At the Berlin airport on the same trip, Kate Middleton looked relieved to see her daughter mollified by some flowers. Traveling with toddlers is always an adventure.
Be Cool, Mom
At the Trooping the Colours parade in 2017, Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte looked as though they were having their first funny teen moment. Middleton was smiling up at the display while Princess Charlotte already looked over it at 2 years old. And so it begins.
So Excited Together
Princess Charlotte was a flower girl at her aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding to James Matthews in 2017, and she and her mom could not look more excited to see her walk down the aisle if they tried.
Just Like Mom
At the Maserati Royal Charity polo at the Beaufort Polo Club in 2018, 3-year-old Princess Charlotte looked like she was trying to emulate her mom by sitting ever-so-elegantly on the grass.
Lean On Me
At that same event, Princess Charlotte leaned on her mom for support and looked truly adorable.
"You're Not Coming"
At her little brother Prince Louis' christening in 2018, Princess Charlotte made headlines when she told reporters they were not coming. And her parents seemed pretty unconcerned.
She Gets A Kick Out Of Her
Either Princess Charlotte is practicing her Highland fling at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 2018 wedding or she's ready to kick someone. Her mother has her in hand, just in case.
Passing Around The Snacks
While Prince William played in a polo tournament at the Billingbear Polo Club in July 2019, Princess Charlotte and Kate Middleton were happily dealing with a trunk full of snacks.
A Royal Raspberry
She might have been at the King's Cup Regatta, but Princess Charlotte wasn't about to miss an opportunity to stick her tongue out at her grandfather Tony Middleton in the crowd in August 2019. And her mom couldn't help laughing.
Meet The Teacher
Kate Middleton and Prince William brought both of their children to school in 2019, but for Princess Charlotte this was her first day ever at Thomas's Battersea School. And her mom looked so excited to be there for such a major milestone.
Sometimes A Girl Just Needs A Hug
At the annual Trooping The Colours in 2018, Princess Charlotte had a little fall. And of course Kate Middleton was there with lightning fast speed to scoop her daughter up in her arms and give her a cuddle.
Matching Curtsies
Kate Middleton has been perfecting her curtsy for more than a decade and it looks as though she has passed her skills on to her daughter. Princess Charlotte curtsied to her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth over Christmas 2019 and nailed it.
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. But Kate Middleton managed to get Princess Charlotte to smile and chat with royal watchers on Christmas Day. Those classic Middleton manners are shining through.
Style Tips From Mom
Having access to Kate Middleton's wardrobe and accessories is a definite bonus for her daughter, and Princess Charlotte took advantage at a polo match in 2018 by nabbing her sunglasses.
Royal Piggyback Racing
To celebrate Mother's Day in 2020, Princess Charlotte was the one getting the gift. The gift of a piggyback ride from Kate Middleton in a race against Prince William and Prince George. They looked confident.
Happy Together In The Snow
Princess Charlotte was just a babe in arms on her first ski holiday in the French Alps in 2016, but she looked utterly delighted to be with her mom.
Keeping It Casual
Princess Charlotte was really twinning with her mom for the annual Christmas photo at the family home of Anmer Hall in Norfolk County in 2020. Jeans and sweaters all around.
Drama Queen Gets Dramatic
The Cambridge family enjoyed a pantomime show at Christmas in December 2020, but Princess Charlotte was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing. Fortunately she had her mom to comfort her.
Bonfires & Boots
What else would a future King and Queen Consort want to do for their tenth wedding anniversary other than roast marshmallows in their backyard? Princess Charlotte looked like she was having the time of her life in the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's anniversary video from 2021.
Just Two Girlfriends Chatting
Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte looked for all the world like two girlfriends having a good old chat during a visit to Canada in 2016.
Starstruck Princess
Kate Middleton got a real charge out of Princess Charlotte's reaction to meeting Sir David Attenborough in September 2020.
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.
