Jun 11 2017 - 3:45am

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?
