Princess Charlotte captured
the nation’s hearts when she joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at
the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham last week.
In an unseen video, shared on
PA, the seven-year-old was seen sharing a sweet moment with her
dad Prince William – where she mirrored his body language. Life
father, like daughter!
During Charlotte’s first solo
engagement at the Commonwealth Games last week, the Princess was seen sitting
in between her parents when they went to SportsAid House to speak with athletes
during the tournament.
In the short clip, Prince
William and Kate were chatting away while Charlotte began miming her father’s relaxed stance by leaning forward and resting her clasped hands on
her knees.
The young royal was in the
host city of the Commonwealth Games to learn about a programme preparing the
next generation of sportsmen and women for future events.

During the outing, Charlotte
appeared curious about her surroundings and the people around her at Birmingham
University, and a little apprehensive at times, but received a reassuring arm
around her shoulder or a word in her ear from William, and held Kate’s hand at
other moments.
The young royal revealed
gymnastics was the sport she liked most and joined a nutritional workshop
helping her parents place pictures of foods like nuts, bread and grapes into
the right groups, whether protein, carbohydrates, antioxidants or healthy fats.
At one-point Charlotte was
asked to update a Team England medal board and added a bronze, won in the men’s
team table tennis event, and silver from the lawn bowls men’s pairs.
She was also taken by William
and Kate to events at the Commonwealth Games and was photographed grinning
during swimming heats and later joined her parents to watch a hockey match.
