Amid a challenging year for the royal family, Princess Charlotte has emerged as a source of strength and joy, showcasing traits and talents inherited from her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Royal author Phil Dampier reveals that Charlotte, 8, has a knack for mimicry, much like the late monarch, who was known for her witty impersonations of politicians and world leaders, including US presidents and Boris Yeltsin.
Charlotte’s remarkable ability to imitate accents and prominent figures has reportedly brought laughter to her family, a skill that is expected to shine during Christmas gatherings at Sandringham, where the royals traditionally play charades. The late Queen Elizabeth often entertained her family with her talent, which broadcaster Gyles Brandreth described as including “regional accents from all over the country.”
Beyond her comedic flair, Charlotte also shares her late grandmother Diana’s love for ballet. Dampier notes the Princess was enthralled by visits to the Strictly Come Dancing studios with her mother, Kate, and a trip to see Swan Lake at the London Coliseum earlier this year.
Despite her young age, Charlotte is said to display remarkable maturity, much like her great-grandmother Elizabeth did as a child. Dampier compares her to Winston Churchill’s observation of Queen Elizabeth’s composure, saying, “Charlotte has an uncanny ability to say the right thing at the right time, cheering up the Princess of Wales during her cancer treatment and supporting her brothers.”
The Princess of Wales, who has been battling cancer alongside King Charles, has reportedly found great comfort in Charlotte’s inner strength. Insiders share that Charlotte looks after her mother and brothers, often displaying a protective nature that reflects her growing sense of responsibility as third in line to the throne.
Currently a popular student at Lambrook School in Berkshire, Charlotte, who turns ten next May, continues to develop her talents while bringing light and joy to her family during difficult times. Her combination of humor, grace, and resilience has made her an invaluable member of the royal family, with a bright future ahead.
