Royal Profile: Princess Charlotte of Cambridge

-
Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge was born 2 May 2015 as the second child of Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge{Source}{Source}. She has an older brother and a younger brother:



Her christening took place on 5 July 2015. The following are her godparents {Source}:

  • The Hon. Laura Fellowes (paternal 1st cousin 1x removed)
  • Adam Middleton (maternal 1st cousin 1x removed)
  • Thomas van Staunbenzee (family friend)
  • James Meade (family friend)
  • Sophie Cater (family friend)

Although only four years old, a number of official photos have been released, many of which were taken by her mother:


She is named:
  • Charlotte: presumably a feminine version of Charles, for her paternal grandfather
  • Elizabeth: for her great grandmother
  • Diana: for the paternal grandmother she will never know, but forever be compared to throughout her life.

Unlike previous British princesses, she cannot be displaced by any younger brothers with the new succession laws allowing equal rights to the throne. She is presently the 1st female in succession after her grandfather, father and older brother.

The young princess began attending Willcocks Nursery School in January 2018. She is said to have learned to speak Spanish from her nanny {Source}. It is likely she will follow in her brother's footsteps in September and will attended St. Thomas's Battersea.
