A new viral video has highlighted "adorable" Princess Charlotte’s first major overseas royal tour.
The footage was captured during a trip to Canada in 2016 and, while the footage is old, royal fans have been gushing over their love for the young royal. The video has resurfaced on TikTok after the popular Princess hasn’t featured on any recently. Charlotte who celebrated her birthday in May has become a popular fixture at high-profile royal events in recent years alongside her brothers, Prince George, 10, and Prince Louis, six.
The siblings made their first appearance in 2024 this June where they attended the Trooping the Colour celebrations in London, which marked their grandfather's King Charles birthday. Following Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis the children have been less visible in the public.
Fans have taken to social media to share favourite moments and highlights from past events, including milestone celebrations, ceremonies and tours. Uploaded to TikTok by user @the_royal_famili8 on June 28, one of the latest of these highlights a moment captured by press cameras during William and Kate's first major overseas tour with their two eldest children.
In 2016, the couple were accompanied by 3-year-old Prince George and 1-year-old Charlotte for an official visit to Canada on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II . The family were based in Victoria on Vancouver Island, and the royal kids were present for the arrival and departure photo calls, as well as a specially arranged children's party at the close of the visit.
Charlotte shares a touching moment with her mother, waving to crowds that had gathered to wish them a safe journey home. Captioned "Princess Charlotte has such a beautiful relationship with her mother Kate Middleton . They are so beautiful," the video has gained over 112,000 views on the social media site so far, and more than 4,400 likes.
A number of commenters have praised the clip, with one user writing: "She's adorable. I loved this Canada tour. I hope they can come back soon." Another lamenting on the past said: "Time flies so fast.” After attending the Trooping the Colour celebrations this year, Charlotte was also photographed attending a performance of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in London with William and George. After the show Taylor Swift released a photo of her posing alongside the young royals backstage.
On an episode of the brothers' New Heights podcast after the concert, Jason Kelce described meeting Charlotte as one of the highlights of the evening. He said: "Prince William was fantastic but the highlight was Princess Charlotte . Prince George was great too. She was so f****** adorable," Jason Kelce said. "Like, I cannot express how... I don't know, maybe it's because I have three girls now. She had fire to her, she was asking questions; it was, that was the most electric part."
