Charlotte and George also made an impression. Princess Charlotte, now ten, was given a book by a member of the public. She accepted it with a polite, “Thank you so much, that is very kind of you.” Witnesses said she also posed for the occasional selfie and spoke warmly to children in the crowd. One person described her as “a little star, confident beyond her years.” George, twelve, led the family towards the church, greeting people with a broad smile. He looked every inch the future king in a navy coat and polished shoes. Charlotte chose a camel coat with tights. Louis matched his brother in a dark overcoat that contrasted neatly with the enormous teddy bear still tucked under his arm.
A tradition that draws generations together
