Charlotte of Wales, photos of the princess with her brother Louis

A model “big sister”. Princess Charlotte of Wales, who has just turned nine, is very close to her brothers, both to Prince George, who is two years older than her, and to Prince Louis, three years younger (just last week he celebrated his six-year birthday). Always together on official occasions, the three little brothers shared many important moments, from the coronation of King Charles to the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth II. And, in all circumstances, they showed harmony and complicity. The princess has always had her younger brother a very protective attitude. Let's look back at some of these moments.

Princess Charlotte of Wales was just three years old when her younger brother, baby Louis, was born. Yet, in the photos shared by Kensington Place on social media (and taken by mother Kate Middleton), we see a very careful and affectionate little girl, who kisses the new little one in the house with great delicacy.

Princess Charlotte of Wales attended the celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee of her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, together with his mother and brothers. And when little Louis began to suck her thumb, it was she who gently removed his hand from his mouth. Furthermore, when her little brother continued to wave to the audience from the carriage heading to the Trooping the Color Horse Guards Parade, she, realizing that the time had come to stop, he lowered his hand.

Princess Charlotte, always very protective of her little brother Louis, she held his hand as, together, they headed to Westminster Abbey ahead of the coronation ceremony of King Charles and Queen Camilla. Even at the end of the event, it was Charlotte who held the little prince's hand.

Princess Charlotte he helped little Louis send Christmas cards at the concert held every year at Westminster Abbey. The special Christmas letterbox was placed outside the door, so that children could send postcards they had written to children in need: they were distributed to charities including the Evelina Children's Hospital, the British Red Cross, the Child Bereavement UK and the East Anglia Children's Hospice.
