With her mother’s charm and father’s blue blood, she was destined to be a perfect princess.
Now Prince William has confirmed that his daughter Charlotte is already ‘very ladylike’, despite being only five months old.
In contrast, her older brother George sounds like more of a handful. Using a euphemism familiar to many a harassed parent, the Duke of Cambridge described his firstborn as somewhat ‘lively’.

Prince William has confirmed that his daughter Charlotte is already ‘very ladylike’, while her older brother George sounds like more of a handful
The comments came as William returned to the Cambridge college of St John’s to open a new archive, having completed a 12-week agriculture course there last year.
Christopher Dobson, the college’s master, presented the Duke with a children’s book which he promised to read to George and Charlotte.
‘It was good to welcome him back,’ Professor Dobson said.
‘We have fond memories of his time here and he was one of the easiest guests we ever had.
‘He remarked that the children were delightful but that they had different characters, with George being lively and Charlotte being very ladylike.’
Prince William, who now works for the East Anglian Air Ambulance in Cambridgeshire, later said that having children has helped him to appreciate the work of a bereavement charity that his late mother helped to launch.
William spent yesterday evening at a gala dinner in Whitehall to mark 21 years of Child Bereavement UK, for which he is now a patron.

The prince said: ‘What my mother recognised back then – and what I understand now – is that grief is the most painful experience that any child or parent can endure.
'But my mother was determined to help those in need and she would have been immensely proud – as I am – of all that Child Bereavement UK has achieved.
‘When many people slink away at the sight of a friend’s bereavement, CBUK’s staff embrace strangers at the darkest moment in their life.
'As a father to two young children, I now appreciate it all the more.'
Child Bereavement UK supports families and educates professionals when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying, or when a child is facing bereavement.
