Princess Charlotte's 'sassy reaction' when aide tries to take a well-wisher's gift

Princess Charlotte's sass has long been noted by royal watchers, making her one of the most popular members of the monarchy.

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, once told the press that the boss of her household was most definitely her only daughter, as often noticed during her public appearances.

Her sweet and confident personality has often shone through.

And one of those times came when she was greeting royal fans for one of the very first times alongside her mum Kate at Sandringham on Christmas Day 2019, reports the Mirror.

When Charlotte emerged from church at Sandringham on that day, she was presented with a beautiful bunch of white roses by a well-wisher.

Royal aides are then usually passed the flowers to carry so the royal can keep their hands free and talk to other well-wishers.

But it appeared that Charlotte had clearly taken a liking to the blooms and wasn't ready to give them up. So when an aide offered to carry them, she shook her head and refused to let them go.

She then clutched the flowers as she walked back to Sandringham House with the rest of the royals.

Last Christmas, she made completed her second Sandringham walkabout - accompanied by her mum, dad Prince William, and brothers Prince George and Prince Louis.

But according to a royal expert, could be facing a very different future from older brother George.Seven-year-old Charlotte is currently third in line to the throne behind her father Prince William and brother George - both future Kings.

It has long been thought that she would one day be given the title of Princess Royal and be a full-time royal supporting her dad and then her big brother.

But one royal expert says he has been told that the young princess is being brought up by William and mum the Princess of Wales knowing she will have to work for a living.

Writing in the Daily Mail's Palace Confidential newsletter, diary editor Richard Eden explained: "From what I hear, the Prince and Princess of Wales want Charlotte, aged seven, to grow up with the expectation that she will get a job and not be a full-time royal.

"This path for the young Princess would be in keeping with her grandfather, King Charles III's, vision for a slimmed-down monarchy."

It comes as a historian has predicted roles for all of the Wales children at King Charles' upcoming Coronation on May 6 - and it could be that Charlotte gets to wear a special item.

Dr Tessa Dunlop said that history points to the children also being seen in their finery alongside the adults for the ceremony.

And she told the Mirror: "Expect Charlotte in a dainty coronet [small crown] - perhaps even the one the late Queen wore to her father's coronation aged 10 - and the two brothers in frock coats and breeches."
