Princess Charlotte 'Copies' Mum Kate During Royal Visits Expert Reveals Telling Trait Princess Charlotte, the only child of Prince William and Princess Kate, is exactly like her mother when it comes to royal engagements, according to an expert. Children prefer to imitate their parents, whether it's through dressing up like their mothers or saying things exactly as they do. Princess Charlotte, the only child of Prince William and Princess Kate, is no exception. According to a royal analyst, the nine-year-old royal seems to be growing more "composed" in public interactions, especially in comparison to her elder brother and heir apparent Prince George. However, a lot of appearances still seem "choreographed" because the kids aren't used to being the centre of attention. Historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop stated that Charlotte is "in many ways more relaxed than George" in an interview with OK!
