Let’s be honest—when it comes to stealing the show, Princess Charlotte is a natural! Whether she’s playfully sticking out her tongue at photographers during Prince Harry’s wedding, making funny faces at Queen Elizabeth's Trooping the Color parade, or even doing somersaults on the grass at one of her dad's polo matches, this 3-year-old royal has an undeniable charm that lights up any room. She’s not just cute; she’s got spunk, confidence, and a personality so big it’s impossible not to smile when she’s around.

“Charlotte is outgoing and oozes confidence,” a royal insider exclusively told Closer Weekly in the magazine’s latest issue, available now. “Standing in front of hundreds of paparazzi doesn’t faze her in the slightest. In fact, she actually enjoys being in the spotlight!”

Why Everyone Loves Princess Charlotte

It’s no surprise that Princess Charlotte isn’t exactly flying under the radar. As the fourth in line to the throne—following her grandfather Prince Charles, 70, her dad Prince William, 36, and her big brother Prince George, 5—Charlotte is growing up in the public eye, living the ultimate fairy-tale life. From being baptized by the Archbishop of Canterbury using water from the River Jordan to receiving gifts from global leaders like former President Barack Obama (a stuffed animal that looked just like his dog, Bo), this little princess has already seen and done more than most people will in a lifetime. And guess what? She’s already traveled all over the world, including Poland, Germany, and the Caribbean island of Mustique.

While her parents work hard to keep their feisty daughter grounded and humble, Charlotte’s strong personality has won hearts both near and far. “The queen has already picked up on signs that Charlotte is her mini-me,” the insider revealed. “She’s confident that her great-granddaughter will grow up to be a great leader and role model.”

A Very Special Birth

From the moment she was born, everyone was thrilled about Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge. “The queen was really thrilled that it was a little girl,” Kate, 37, once said. “She was one of our first visitors.”

Charlotte’s arrival marked a unique moment in history. Thanks to a 2011 change to the centuries-old British rules of succession, which previously favored male heirs, she became the first female royal to retain her place in line to the throne despite having younger brothers. Unlike her brothers, who were baptized in London, Charlotte’s christening took place at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham—the same church where her late grandmother Princess Diana was baptized.

A Normal Life for a Royal Family

Despite all the pomp and circumstance surrounding their lives, Prince William and Kate Middleton are determined to give their children as normal a childhood as possible. “As far as we’re concerned, within our family unit we are a normal family,” Will has said. And they mean it. Charlotte wears hand-me-downs from her brother George, Kate drops the kids off at school herself, and the siblings love spending time together in the kitchen, where they enjoy getting their hands dirty while baking cakes. “Charlotte’s favorite pastime is baking cakes,” the insider added. “She has her own little apron and follows Kate around the kitchen.”

Kate, who’s deeply involved in several children’s charities and advocates for kids’ mental health, serves as an incredible role model for her daughter. “I think every child should have the best possible start in life,” Kate once said. “My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty. That’s why William and I want to teach our little ones just how important these things are as they grow up.”

Since moving to Kensington Palace in London in mid-2017, Charlotte’s life has shifted slightly. Last January, she started attending the Willcocks Nursery School, where insiders say she’s “very popular” and has a passion for art and music. She makes friends easily, too. “She has a strong personality and is the kind of little girl who knows what she wants and doesn’t let anything get in her way,” the insider told Closer.
