Speaking fondly of her own experiences growing up within the royal family, Princess Anne draw parallels to the connections she witnessed among her grandchildren. Her candid remarks shed light on the unique challenges faced by the young royals as they navigate their roles within the monarchy.
The specific time when Princess Charlotte will wear a tiara, just like her aunt did, is yet to be determined. Princess Charlotte, although third in line for the throne, has not had the opportunity to wear a tiara yet. It’s common for royal women like Princess Charlotte to wait until their wedding day before they can wear a tiara. Since Charlotte is in direct line to the British throne, she may don a tiara sooner than her wedding day.
This tradition was observed by Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, who only wore tiaras on their wedding days in 2018 and 2020, respectively. However, Charlotte is expected to follow in the footsteps of her great-aunt, Princess Margaret, who wore a headpiece for royal state occasions as a young woman. According to royal historian Marlene, there are no specific rules about when royal women can wear tiaras. For example, Princess Anne wore tiaras as a teenager, including for her 21st birthday photo, before she was married at the age of 23. The Princess Royal was wed to her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, at Westminster Abbey on November 14th, 1973.
As an active member of the royal family, unlike Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, Princess Anne was allowed to wear a tiara at certain events, and the same may apply to Charlotte in the future as she is expected to become a working royal. Some commenters have suggested that the princess, who recently turned eight, could take over Princess Anne’s title of Princess Royal when Prince William inherits the throne. This is one of the highest honors that may be given to a female member of the royal family and is closely associated with the hardworking 70-year-old Princess Anne. However, despite speculation, Princess Anne’s supporters have nothing to fear. The title is for life, so even when Prince William inherits the throne, his daughter Charlotte will not automatically inherit the title.
During her younger years, Princess Charlotte’s talents have not only showcased generational continuity in passions and interests but also highlighted the strong family bonds that endure through the Wales lineage. Charlotte has captured hearts with her royal appearances since she was a little girl. The 9-year-old daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales has become a familiar face at royal events like Trooping the Colour, where she’s often seen keeping her younger brother, Prince Louis, in check during carriage rides and balcony appearances.
Speaking fondly of her own experiences growing up in the royal family, Princess Anne draws parallels to the connections she’s seen among her grandchildren. Her candid remarks shed light on the unique challenges faced by young royals as they navigate their roles within the monarchy. Charlotte has already outshone her siblings with her good manners and adherence to protocol, even reminding Prince George to bow during the Queen’s funeral. According to an insider, Charlotte is generally interested in the unwritten rules and protocols of how the palace runs and the traditions it upholds. She loves listening to her grandfather’s history stories, and both Charles and Anne are delighted by her questions and curiosity.
Meanwhile, Princess Catherine is in excellent health and has resumed her royal duties. According to an insider, she recently completed a six-month cancer treatment regimen with favorable results. The source claims that she will fully resume her royal initiatives and obligations after the summer break, likely in early August. This positive outcome has been a significant relief for the royal family, particularly considering the challenges they’ve faced in recent years.
On another note, Prince Harry has stated that he is “100% ready and available” to support the British royal family during these challenging times. He has also asked to be kept informed about his father’s health, expressing that it is his right as a son to know how his father is doing, especially if King Charles is battling cancer.
