Viral Video of Princess Charlotte Sparks Online Debate
The video begins with Charlotte curtsying at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on September 19, 2022, followed by her appearance at the “Together at Christmas” carol service hosted by her mother, Princess Kate, at Westminster Abbey on December 8, 2023.
Another clip features Charlotte subtly nudging her older brother, Prince George, to pay attention during the Platinum Pageant at Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee on June 5, 2022.
The final segment shows her gently guiding her younger brother, Prince Louis, to stop waving during the Trooping the Colour carriage procession on June 2 of the same year.
The TikTok video contrasts these moments with clips of other European princesses, suggesting a contrast in royal behavior. The post was captioned: “Royalty (No hate to anyone!).”
Some users defended the European royals, questioning the expectation for all princesses to be constantly serious.
One comment read, “Does every princess have to be serious and not have a normal life?” Another user noted the differences in proximity to the throne, explaining, “It’s because they are the heirs/close to the line of succession whilst the other princess may not be close to the crown and are unlikely to get the crown so there’s less restriction on them as opposed to those close to the crown.” A third commenter reminded viewers that royal teens and children should be allowed to have fun, saying, “I think some people forget that royal teens and children are just teens and [children] and they wanna have fun too.”
Despite the advantages and financial security afforded by their positions, all royals in the TikTok video likely experience the intense pressure of public life.
