Every Time Princess Charlotte (and Her Royal Wave!) Stole the Show

It may have been Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding day, but Charlotte stole the show as she showed off a big smile and then waved to the gathered crowd from the top of the steps of St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

And the wedding wasn't the only time she showed off her wave: When Prince William brought Charlotte to visit her new baby brother at St. Mary’s Hospital on April 23, she turned around to sweetly — and regally — greet photographers and fans waiting outside.

Charlotte posed excitedly Jan. 8 before heading off to her first day at the Willcocks Nursery School, a private school in west London. She wore a $150 burgundy Razorbil wool coat by Amaia with stone-colored tights, and carried a pink backpack by Cath Kidston.

William, Kate Middleton and their two children stood for their 2017 Christmas card photo at home at Kensington Palace in matching blue outfits. Though she's the smallest member of the foursome, Charlotte's adorably pursed lips and polite stance certainly grab viewers' eyes.

Charlotte made a crying fit look cute when she got upset as the family boarded their helicopter at the Hamburg airport in Germany in July 2017. Mom Kate calmed her down, though, and William helped her on the plane they were taking back home to London.

Air travel doesn't always upset this little princess, though. She appreciated the fresh scent of the posy of flowers she was given as the Royal Fab 4 departed Warsaw, Poland in July 2017, and even took her first royal curtsy, per mom's instruction, as they left.

At Pippa Middleton's May 2017 nuptials to financier James Matthews, Charlotte served as a bridesmaid during the ceremony. Big brother George was by her side as a page boy.

Charlotte celebrated turning 2 in May 2017 with a sweet snap of her at the family’s Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. The little royal held back her growing hair with a navy bow from Amaia, a favorite children's store of my mom Kate, who took the photo.

Even royals need a sugary pick-me-up every now and then! Charlotte enjoyed a candy cane when the royal family left Christmas Day service at St Mark's Church in Englefield, Berkshire in December 2016.

Charlotte loved the balloon arch at her first public playdate with Prince George in Canada in September 2016. As soon as her tiny feet hit the ground, she started alternately hitting and hugging the balloons and even tried to lift up the entire pastel-colored arch!
