Princess Charlotte was born on 2 May 2015 at St Mary's Hospital, to William and Catherine, the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. She arrived during Queen Elizabeth II’s reign as the couple's second child and only daughter. Her full name - Charlotte Elizabeth Diana honours her grandfather Charles, great-grandmother the Queen, her mum Catherine, Aunt Pippa and her two grandmothers Carole & Diana.
Charlotte spent her early years at Anmer Hall before moving to Kensington Palace in London with her family, where she started school at Willcocks Nursery and then at Thomas’s School in Battersea. After the family’s 2022 move to Adelaide Cottage, she joined Lambrook School with her brothers. Following her grandfather’s accession Lottie became HRH Princess Charlotte of Wales. She’s third in line to the throne and is the first British princess to not be outranked by a brother in the line of succession.
Since her debut at Trooping the Colour in 2016, Charlotte joined her family at various official events and royal tours to Canada, Germany, and Poland, and has taken part in two royal weddings, the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, and King Charles’s coronation in 2023. Lottie loves rugby, tennis, gymnastics, and dance (especially ballet and tap). She’s also a budding performer and has a love for pizza and olives. She is a great goalkeeper and her football skills even got a royal shoutout from her dad when meeting the Lionesses, her favorite team.
