From his eldest son Prince William’s children to the offspring of his younger son Prince Harry, the royal family’s next generation is full of charm, charisma, and, of course, royal duty. Here are five things you may not have known about King Charles’ grandchildren.
1. Prince George is the Future King
Prince George of Wales, born on July 22, 2013, is the eldest child of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales. As the firstborn son of the heir to the throne, George holds the title of “Prince” and is third in line to the throne.
George’s royal duties will increase as he gets older, but for now, he’s known for his playful, cheeky demeanor, especially when attending royal events.
2. Princess Charlotte is the Princess’ Mini-Me
Princess Charlotte of Wales, born on May 2, 2015, is the second child and only daughter of Prince William and Princess Catherine. Known for her sweet smile and outgoing personality, Charlotte is already quite the charmer.
Princess Charlotte shares a close bond with her brothers, especially Prince George. She often plays a leading role during family outings and events, particularly when she’s seen assisting her younger brother, Prince Louis.
Charlotte is also a mini-me of her mother, Catherine. Many royal watchers have pointed out her striking resemblance to the Princess of Wales when she was a child.
3. Prince Louis is the Youngest Wales and the Silliest
Prince Louis of Wales, born on April 23, 2018, is the youngest child of Prince William and Catherine. Known for his boundless energy and mischievous grin, Louis has quickly become a fan favorite for his cheeky antics.
Prince Louis stole the show during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022 with his hilarious facial expressions and giggles. He’s often caught making funny faces or displaying comical behavior during public events.
4. Archie and Lilibet Are Prince Harry’s Little Royals
Prince Harry’s children, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, moved to California with the Prince and his wife, Meghan Markle.
While Archie, born on May 6, 2019, and Lilibet, born on June 4, 2021, aren’t likely to take on formal royal duties, they’ve still been a part of some significant royal milestones, like meeting Queen Elizabeth II. In fact, Lilibet was named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who was affectionately known as “Lilibet” by her family.
5. The Royal Grandkids Share a Bond with Queen Elizabeth II’s Legacy
Although Prince Charles’ grandchildren may not all share the same last name, they’re all connected by a powerful family legacy, especially that of Queen Elizabeth II, their great-grandmother. Each child’s public appearances, mannerisms, and personality traits reflect something unique about the Windsor family.
Many royal experts predict that the next generation of royals will have a much closer connection with the public, thanks to social media and modern-day communication, making them more accessible than any royal generation before them.
