Princess Charlotte been a very busy little girl — but then again, she is no ordinary 2-year-old. When her father is king [1], she will be second in line to the throne, so there are more to her milestones than first word, first steps, and first tooth. Take a look at all the different things the little princess has done in her jam-packed first two years [2].
She Learned to Walk
William and Kate released a set of pictures that were taken at home in Anmer Hall to mark Princess Charlotte's first birthday [4].
She Said Her First Word in Public
. . . which was [5] the word "pop" during a tea party in Canada.
She Experienced Snow For the First Time
Charlotte encountered a lot in her first year, including her first family holiday [6] and first time on a plane.
She Sat on the Queen's Lap For a Portrait
The queen was photographed surrounded by her great-grandchildren [7] and two youngest grandchildren to celebrate her 90th birthday — and Princess Charlotte had pride of place [8].
She Appeared on a Christmas Card
Also in her first year, Charlotte appeared with her parents and big brother George on the Cambridge's holiday card [9].
She Saw the Red Arrows
. . . and she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the first in a lifetime of appearances at her first Trooping the Colour [10] in 2016 with Mom, Dad, brother George, and Uncle Harry.
She Went to Canada
Charlotte's future will include many royal tours, and her very first spanned a week in September 2016 and involved three public appearances [11].
She Received Flowers
Well, her mother Kate received flowers, but she shared them with the little princess [12] for the first time.
She Waved in Public For the First Time
When Charlotte first arrived in Canada, she looked pretty sleepy [13] and didn't wave to the crowds — despite being encouraged by her mother. Fast-forward a week and as the family set off [14], the little princess had clearly gotten the hang of it.
She Met Justin Trudeau!
Earning the envy of many.
She Developed a Love of Animals
Not only does Charlotte have a dog, Lupo, and a hamster, Marvin, at home, but she also showed her love of furry friends when she met this cute pup in Canada [15].
She Attended Church
Charlotte experienced her first Christmas Day service [16] last year at the age of 19 months — much younger than William and Harry's first festive outings.
She Grew Her Hair Long!
William and Kate released just one picture of their little princess [17] to mark her second birthday — and she was already looking so much older than when we last saw her on Christmas Day four months ago. Don't they grow up fast?
