How Prince William Became The Ultimate Royal Girl Dad To Princess Charlotte

Royal life usually comes with a number of rules and forced smiles, but Princess Charlotte’s relationship with her dad, Prince William, often feels surprisingly normal and kinda cute. As the second child of Prince William and Princess Catherine, she is currently third in line to the throne. So yes, she has a very serious royal future ahead of her, but publicly, William seems determined to let her be a kid first.

William Was Locked In For Girl-Dad Life

Before Charlotte was even born, William had already loved the idea of having a baby daughter. And once he saw her, he didn’t even try to hide the tears of happiness. Over the years, he has made numerous endearing remarks about little Charlotte, referring to her as a joy during her infancy and playfully suggesting that if anyone in the world truly believes in the existence of unicorns, it is likely Charlotte. One of the most relatable dad moments came in 2019, when William admitted to watching YouTube tutorials on how to style Charlotte’s hair. How cute is that? He joked that ponytails were a “nightmare,” and when Catherine brought up plaits, he was basically done. He may have been the future king, but a master braider he was not.
