Prince William opens up about Princess Charlotte’s “feisty side”
Princess Charlotte is following in the footsteps of her late grandmother Princess Diana with her love for dancing and it seems she might also have her headstrong personality as well.
While visiting patients at Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool, William opened up about Charlotte’s independent personality.
"She's going to be trouble when she gets older," William told patient Pagan Tordengrav. "All fathers say that to me – watch out for the little girls."
William was also asked about Prince George, who recently started school.
"George has been really easy,'' he told patient Theresa Jones. "He hasn't said, 'Have I got to do this for the rest of my life?'"
William described the sibling dynamics in the royal household.
"George rules the roost, but Charlotte's not far behind,'' he told Jones.
With Charlotte soon to be the middle child, psychology professor and author of The Secret Power of the Middle Children, Catherina Salmon believes that middle children tend to be more independent.
"The fact that middles get less attention from parents fosters independence," Catherine told Popsugar.
"Because they've had to persevere to get what they want within their family dynamic and are empathetic, they have the skills to negotiate for the change they want to see."
Last year, Kate opened up about Charlotte’s “feisty side” at a royal reception in London.
“As a mum myself I asked her about her children and said what a pretty little thing we all thought Princess Charlotte was,” guest Glynis Double told the Daily Mail.
“She said, ‘Oh she is very cute but she has got quite a feisty side.’”
