Princess Charlotte acting like a royal boss with her brothers and went viral on .

The 10-year-old has carved out a formidable reputation as the unofficial royal “boss” during high-profile royal events where the cameras were watching the Wales family’s every move.

Prince George is the direct heir to the throne, destined to one day be king, but a fan of Charlotte compiled moments when she showed just how much of a support she can be.

The Context

was liked 35,500 times and viewed 299,000 times having been posted with the on screen caption: “Although Charlotte is not the eldest … she is definitely the authority in the Wales family.

“Whenever the three children appear, it’s clear that Prince George and Prince Louis both value Charlotte’s opinion.”

What To Know

The clip includes pictures of Prince Louis gazing up adoringly at his older sister during a walkabout at the royal family’s Christmas Day walk to church in 2022.

A later clip showed her telling Louis when to stop waving during the carriage procession at Trooping the Colour, in June that same year.

The young prince was enthusiastically greeting royal fans at the start ‘s Platinum Jubilee celebrations when Charlotte reached over to pull his hand down.

And she stepped in again days later when Louis appeared to be biting his nails as they watched the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which sought to tell the story of he late monarch’s reign using artists, dancers and performers.

Louis had been in a restless mood, though melted hearts all the same, while Charlotte felt the need to introduce some etiquette as the pair sat one row in front of then British Prime Minister .

And at Trooping the Colour in 2024, Charlotte nudged Prince Louis to remind him to stand up straight as they watched a fly-past by the Royal Air Force from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

It is not just Louis, however, as the edit ends with a moment in which Charlotte appeared to make her feelings known to George during a moment away from the service for Elizabeth’s funeral in September 2022.

Charlotte’s natural leadership has left many comparing her to Elizabeth, her great, grand mother.

While George may one day wear the crown, it seems he—and the rest of the Wales household—will always have Charlotte to help keep things running smoothly.

What People Are Saying

One fan replied: “She hasn’t been doing it as much because she knows she needs to let Prince George take the spotlight after his father.”
