Charlotte is following a very familiar royal pattern
PRINCESS CHARLOTTE hasn’t just inherited a sense of public service from her mother and her late grandmother – she’s taken their timeless fashion sense too.
After the Duchess of Cambridge yesterday released another picture of her daughter delivering food parcels, more thoughtful in tone than those showing her trademark cheeky grin the previous day, Royal-watchers couldn’t help but notice that her black-and-white Zara dress was following a firm family tradition.
For both Charlotte’s mother and Princess Diana made quite an impression in similar houndstooth designs.
Kate, 38, took the new, beautifully lit photograph to mark Charlotte’s fifth birthday, snapping away as they delivered home-made pasta to vulnerable households near the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The picture was posted on the Royal Family’s Instagram page with the message: ‘Thank you for all your lovely messages on Princess Charlotte’s fifth birthday!’
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Charlotte’s cousin Archie will celebrate his first birthday on Wednesday, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Los Angeles. The date signals another poignant milestone – the point at which Archie will have spent more time outside the UK than in it.
The Queen has not seen her youngest great-grandchild in person this year, which has reportedly left her ‘very sad’.
It is understood Meghan and Harry will release a new portrait of their son to mark the occasion.
