FACT BOX TITLE
It’s a characteristic commonly associated with her often-cheeky younger brother, Prince Louis.
But today it became clear where the six-year-old royal gets his flair of dramatics, after Princess Charlotte put on a scene-stealing display of emotions at Wimbledon this afternoon.
The young royal, nine, joined her mother, the Princess of Wales, in the Royal Box this afternoon to watch Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic in the Grand Slam at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, London.
The nine-year-old royal winced, cheered, and beamed, as she watched the players compete for the prestigious title.
Despite her wearing a pair of £90 pink Ray Ban sunglasses, Charlotte’s emotions throughout the game, from her jubilant grins to intrigued glances and awkward shudders, remained crystal clear.

Last year, Kate entered the Royal Box where she watched as her close friend Roger Federer was honoured in a special ceremony at the club.
In a clip shared last year by Kensington Palace on their YouTube channel the pair played a doubles match on No3 Court – where Federer won his first match on the way to taking his first Wimbledon title 20 years ago – to highlight the work of ball boys and girls at the tournament.
Kate managed to get a shot past the Swiss star, prompting him to exclaim: ‘I think it was on the line. Amazing!’
However, the Princess also took the opportunity to try to get some sneaky coaching advice from the former world No1.
‘Any tips on my serve at the same time would be very helpful,’ she said. But Federer replied only with a compliment, saying: ‘The serve looks good.’
