Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate, is currently third in line to the British throne. However, royal commentators suggest she probably won’t take on the role of a full-time working royal. Instead, it’s expected she’ll pursue a professional career — a change that reflects King Charles III’s plan to streamline the monarchy.
Royal expert Richard Eden told the Mirror, “From what I hear, the Prince and Princess of Wales want Charlotte, aged seven, to grow up with the expectation that she will get a job and not be a full-time royal.”
He added that this approach would align with King Charles’s vision of a “slimmed-down monarchy.”
Charlotte is a truly impressive young girl, and her vibrant personality becomes more evident as she grows. She and her two brothers are students at the prestigious Lambrook School, where they enjoy a wide variety of activities — from animal care to sports like cricket, rugby, football, and golf.
Princess Charlotte also happens to be a big fan of soccer.
Last year, she joined her parents at the Commonwealth Games. Not long after, they visited SportsAid House — a charity Kate has supported since 2013. During the visit, the charity’s CEO, Tim Lawler, revealed Charlotte’s top sport.
“She really enjoyed watching the swimming, but she’s especially into gymnastics,” he said. “When I asked her which sport she liked, she answered right away: ‘It’s gymnastics that I like.’”
The Princess of Wales added, “Charlotte is really into gymnastics — she’s always doing cartwheels and handstands, all sorts of things. It’s such a great way to build basic skills like coordination and balance.”
Prince William chimed in, “And it really helps with flexibility. It’s so good for their long-term health. We actually just went to see Cirque du Soleil recently — it was amazing.”
When it comes to parenting, Kate and William have chosen not to use the traditional “naughty step” method. Instead, they’ve introduced a “chat sofa” approach, where calm conversations replace punishment, and raising voices is strictly avoided.
