Princess Charlotte has some of the best sassy moments, and we are absolutely here for it!
From having a stern chat with the paparazzi to not helping her brother during playtime, the young royal keeps the whole family (and the rest of the amused world!) on their toes. Come for a video of Princess Charlotte refusing to give her flowers away and stay for a whole bunch of very adorable photos.
The young royal is so sassy that her facial expressions often give away any spunky thoughts she may be thinking — an attribute that has her frequently compared to her late grandmother, Princess Diana. A true Queen of Sass in her day, Diana’s signature sassy look seems to have been passed on to Charlotte, who does the withering expression justice.
We cannot wait for more sassy moments to come.

She Can Do Anything

Revealing Her Thoughts Through Body Language
Even after years of attending the Trooping the Colour, Charlotte still isn’t used to the thundering roar of the flyby.

In her defense, her brothers’ brains looked equally melted by the impossibly loud noise.
Instructing Her Older Brother

Keeping It Real With the Media

The moral of this story? Don’t mess with Princess Charlotte.
Suns Out, Tongues Out

The Expert Waver
Princess Charlotte hasn’t just mastered the royal wave — she’s mastered the sassy royal wave.

A Rambunctious Wedding Guest
Charlotte was a delightful little handful during Pippa Middleton’s wedding — from sticking out her tongue to being shushed by her mom, the princess did her best to steal the show.

Finding Her Own Way
