Royal fans have watched Princess Charlotte and Prince George as they grow up and interact with each other. When they are seen in public, people can make a guess at their personalities. For instance, Charlotte has been known to be more engaging with the camera by smiling, waving and even sticking out her tongue.

So it was no surprise when a royal insider told Us Weekly that Charlotte is the same way in private. She was described as "very bubbly" and the one with the "biggest character" among all the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Now that Princess Charlotte is attending the same school as her brother George, one might expect that being the older one and the one who has been in the school for longer, George will look out for his little sister. But based on the Queen’s words, this may not be the case.

Emily’s father Tom later told the publication that the Queen implied that Charlotte was the one who kept an eye out for George and not the other way around.
