Princess Charlotte delighted royal fans when she asked her father, Prince William, to pass on a sweet message to the England women’s football team.

During William’s solo visit to St George’s Park in Burton-upon-Trent in June 2022, Charlotte quickly became the talk of the day, despite not attending herself.

The Prince of Wales, 43, was presented with football kits for his three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Clearly amused, William stressed it was Charlotte herself who had insisted he pass on this special message to her football heroes.

He added with a smile: “She said, ‘Please can you tell them that’, and I said ‘Okay I’ll tell them’.”

Royal commentator Jennie Bond previously opened up about Charlotte’s energetic nature, revealing she takes after her mum, Princess Kate.

Jennie told OK! magazine: “She’s not an overly girlie girl.”

“She’s quite full-on – she’ll give her brother George a run for his money on the football pitch, and she’s quite sporty in general, like her mother.”

Charlotte, now eight, has often shown her passion for various sports, from football and rugby to gymnastics.

During previous royal engagements, Kate herself has frequently spoken about her daughter’s enthusiasm for sport.

In 2022, she mentioned that Charlotte is especially fond of gymnastics, spending much of her time “upside-down, doing handstands and cartwheels.”

Kate, 43, also revealed her daughter’s love for rugby after becoming patron of the Rugby Football Union in early 2022.

During a training session with England players at Twickenham Stadium, Kate told team members Charlotte was enjoying playing rugby at home.

Beyond football and rugby, Charlotte has also developed a passion for dance, according to her proud mother.

During an outing to Lancaster in 2023, Kate reportedly said: “She loves ballet and tap.”

Charlotte’s enthusiasm for dance highlights the young royal’s diverse interests, which include both sporting and artistic pursuits.

Charlotte’s love for sport comes as no surprise, given the royal family’s well-known enthusiasm for outdoor activities.

Her father, William, is president of the Football Association and frequently attends matches to support national teams, including the Lionesses.

Kate is equally athletic, known to excel at tennis and rowing, among other sports, and regularly participates in physical activities at royal events.

Princess Charlotte’s sporting talent even extends to friendly sibling rivalry with her older brother, Prince George, 10.

Kate once revealed Charlotte regularly competes with George, challenging him during family football matches in the garden at their home.

Charlotte’s message to the Lionesses clearly shows her passion for football, and perhaps one day, royal watchers may see her represent her school or country in the sport.

Royal fans eagerly await more glimpses of Charlotte’s growing talents in the future.
