The 10-year-old has earned a reputation as being the boss of the family with royal historian Marlene Koenig telling US Weekly, Princess Kate herself said Princess Charlotte is “independent and the one in charge.”

During last year’s Trooping the Colour, the princess was seen correcting her younger brother.

According to reports from professional lip readers, when Prince Louis began dancing to the bagpipes, Charlotte leaned over and said, “You have to stop doing that. Watch the parade.”
