Kate Middleton and Prince William are receiving praises for having a "strong-willed" daughter. According to royal experts, five-year-old Princess Charlotte is growing up with confidence because her parents are teaching and guiding her on the right path as a royal.
According to body language expert Alison Ward, it's very evident from Princess Charlotte's recent outings that she is a confident and strong-willed budding royal. Ward said that the little princess' leadership is noticeable when the whole family did their Clap for Carers tribute, which aired on television.
"Princess Charlotte looks behind her to check her at one point to check her family are all doing a good job of clapping and following her lead," Ward said.
Ward also took note of Princess Charlotte's recent photos when she turned five, which were taken by the Duchess of Cambridge. Her face and demeanor in the pictures apparently exuded confidence and of not being afraid to show her feelings.
The royal expert said that it looks like Prince William and Kate is teaching their daughter the value of their job, which is service to the people. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are ensuring that Princess Charlotte is going to grow up a remarkable female leader when her time comes.
Royal fans have likened Princess Charlotte's personality to her father's aunt, Princess Anne, who is known for her no-nonsense personality. Other royalists also said that Princess Charlotte takes after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth in many ways as well, not just in her physical appearance.
But Princess Charlotte's birthday photos also revealed the negative side of being in the royal spotlight. Despite the praises, the young royal was also blasted by critics who saw that she wasn't wearing a personal protective equipment (PPE) as she made meal deliveries to the vulnerable people around Norfolk.
Apparently, some commenters on social media said that it was irresponsible for Princess Charlotte not to have any face mask on when the Cambridges made deliveries to high-risk individuals. Some pointed out that children can be virus carriers without symptoms and the wearing of face masks is compulsory in the U.K.
The comments ensued a debate on Twitter, with people saying that the royals are taking advantage of their privilege and not follow the government's orders. Some royal fans, however, said that criticisms against a five-year-old are uncalled for.
"Guys, it's a five-year-old, leave her alone. You're free to dislike the parents, but kids are off limits," the commenter said.
