I think there is a look of Sarah Chatto about Charlotte. She also looks very like the Queen. She does look older than four. I’ve always thought she looked like a little woman.
I agree that Meghan needs to see the difference between being a celeb and a Royal. She really can’t promote her mates off the back of being a member of the Firm.

Charlotte looks very tall. And really old fashioned bless her.

SwimmingintheDeepBLUESea · 01/05/2019 21:47

Charlotte looks like she's wearing a school uniform waaaayy before her time in those birthday pics.

I don't think her clothes look too school uniform like. Besides it wouldn't be before her time - my DD is 2 months older than Charlotte and has had a school uniform for 18months! (Quite a few DC now wear school uniform at nursery at just 2years old and then the majority of children who go into a school nursery at 3yrs old wear one).

Agree she looks older than just turning 4yrs though - going by my 4yrs DD and her school friends.

Has anyone seen these weird photos of Charlene from a few years ago?

I thought this was another headband for a second 😬

She does look older. I think its because her face is quite big and her neck is short? A child in my DC's class looks much older than their years (and remarkably like Charlotte) and that was my conclusion :) She definitely has a look of Kate about her now and I think she is a cute child.

SwimmingintheDeepBLUESea · 01/05/2019 21:59

It's strange how much Charlotte has aged in a year - last year she and my DD looked shockingly similar (to the point that when I was looking at one of Charlottes birthday pictures DS asked me when that picture of DD was taken!) yet this year she looks about a year older than my DD (and DD's school friends).

SleepingStandingUp · 01/05/2019 22:05

She is tall. George and Mia are 2 years older? There isn't a massive gap!

She def looks older than my boy who is 4 end of the month, and he has afatface and a short neck so I don't think that's it Slipper lol

Dear god - is that a photo of Mia drinking a can of coke???? Call social services! Shock

Ktay · 01/05/2019 22:14

I think it was San Pellegrino. Not really any better sugar-wise but more upmarket...

MotherofPearl · 01/05/2019 22:17

Oh dear me Queen - those photos of Charlene are most... unfortunate. The first outfit looks like a hospital gown, and some of the poses make her appear rather unhinged. Very odd indeed.

AudacityOfHope · 01/05/2019 22:17

Just saw this on my feed which explains the unfollows on Insta. It's a pretty great idea actually.

AudacityOfHope · 01/05/2019 22:19

It's a very stylised shoot of Charlene, I kinda like if, it's bold.

Wetdogloveshubert · 01/05/2019 22:21

Note the fleece love being passed down from father to son Wink

MotherofPearl · 01/05/2019 22:27

Have we already discussed this outfit of Camilla's today? The opaque tights and suede heels seem straight out of the DoC's playbook. Actually think she looks good, as usual.

MotherofPearl · 01/05/2019 22:28

@Wetdogloveshubert don't get Queen started on William's fleece habit!

AudacityOfHope · 01/05/2019 22:36

Another outfit from Camilla that wouldn't seem out of place on Kate! It's not really the look anyone wants is it? Sub-MIL chic.

SleepingStandingUp · 01/05/2019 22:37

Oh is Charlotte in the same dress? We know when they were taken 😂

And yeah, San Pellagrino. I wonder if the Sussex kids will grow up wondering why they can't do the stuff the Tindell girls can

Camilla looks good but it's a very Kate outfit. Maybe if your 70-something SMiL is dressing the same as you then it's time to change things up a bit!

Dear god Albert looks sinister in that photo - like he's about to attack her!

LoversLane · 01/05/2019 23:18

I too was taken aback at how much older Charlotte looks. She is the spit of William, I cannot see any other family resemblance!

floraloctopus · 01/05/2019 23:19

I do, they are the sort of thing my dd used to like.
Charlotte looks more like six then four in those picture. George has got a tubby little face in that photo with Mia and that makes him look younger I think.

floraloctopus · 02/05/2019 03:37

The photos of Charlotte are on the BBC website now

The mention of Sarah Chatto got me googling and I came across these gems

In the first one, is lady Sarah Armstrong Jones, the Earl of St Andrews, Lady Helen Windsor and just out of shot must be Prince Edward as they were all born in 1964.

The second shot is Sarah and Edward at nursery for the Royal Family documentary.
