Princess Charlotte smiles in new sweet snap taken by Kate as she celebrates 9th birthday

Prince William and Kate Middleton consciously chose not to name their daughter Charlotte after the late Queen Elizabeth II or Princess Diana for a significant reason, it has been reported.

After an incredibly difficult first five months of the year, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will surely be looking forward to leaving the classroom behind as they prepare to break up from school this week. While very little is known about how the family will spend their time together, a visit to their beloved Norfolk home Anmer Hall will surely be on the cards.Thought to be the Prince and Princess of Wales' favourite property, Anmer Hall was a wedding gift to the couple from the late Queen and is located on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, just a stone's throw from Sandringham House.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were both fortunate to receive the best education possible as they attended some of the best schools in the UK.This is also the case for their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as the royal trio have already had an enviable start to their studies and are currently enrolled at Lambrook Prep School in Berkshire. After nursery school, Prince William was educated at Wetherby Prep School and then went on to attend Ludgrove School in Berkshire, before attending Eton College from 1995-2000.

As the Chelsea Flower Show gets underway for another year, the Royal Family are expected to be out in force - with King Charles and Queen Camilla leading the celebrations.There have been countless memorable moments at the show over the years, but very few measure up to Prince Louis' debut in 2019. Along with his parents and elder siblings, Louis visited the show to see the Back to Nature Garden the Princess of Wales had designed. It was here that the youngster took some of his earliest steps, played with his family and proved that he is the least camera shy member of the Royal Family.

Princess Charlotte made a cheeky response when an aide tried to help her with a lovely gift back in 2019, as her mum, Kate Middleton has labelled her 'the boss'. It's clear that the young Royal, who recently turned nine years old, has grown in confidence over the years, winning over the public on Royal outings and even keeping her two brothers in check. Her self-confidence and independence were most noticeable back in 2019 when she attended the annual Christmas Day service with her family.

Princess Charlotte's cheeky response when an aide attempted to assist her with a delightful gift has been revealed.

Prince George may be the eldest out of the three Wales Children and will one day be crowned King but according to the late Queen, it's his little sister Princess Charlotte who's the real boss.

Princess Charlotte may have just turned nine but she is said to be in charge at home and her strong, confident personality is something her parents, William and Kate, are all too aware of.
