Princess Charlotte had a poignant moment with her brother Prince George during the family's Christmas walk. After one well-wisher told George that Princess Diana would be proud of him, his younger sister was caught patting her brother's back.
"I wonder if she already has a good grasp of the amount of role and responsibility her big brother has," one person said on X. "She seems to have already stepped up to the plate of being his biggest supporter."

"She will be a great ally for George. Just like Princess Anne," another person wrote, referring to how the Princess Royal has fiercely supported King Charles III over the years.
"She's going to be an amazing lady, and I'm sure a superb support for both her brothers," a third penned.

Kate Middleton and
Prince William are mindful of how they are raising their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and
Prince Louis, to avoid another historic royal rivalry.
"It is said that the Prince and Princess of Wales are very concerned,"
Robert Hardman said, per
InStyle. "Of course, Prince George is the heir, and that's the way it's going to be. It's a hereditary, hierarchical, constitutional monarchy. You can't change that. But there are ways, I think, in which you can try and ensure that you don't leave the younger ones feeling they are any less loved or any less relevant."

"They're just going to have to accept their career path is going to be different," Robert Hardman continued.
