Princess Charlotte experienced an awkward moment during a meet and greet at her school, and the incident has resurfaced on TikTok, gaining significant attention from royal fans.
On her first day at Lambrook School in Berkshire in 2022, Charlotte, accompanied by her siblings Prince George and Prince Louis, and parents Prince William and Princess Kate, was introduced to her new headmaster.
Princess Charlotte’s First Day of School
In a moment that didn’t go unnoticed, the headmaster greeted Prince Louis before Charlotte, despite her being higher in the line of succession.
The clip capturing this awkward interaction has since gone viral, amassing 3.7 million views and 549,400 likes on TikTok.
Royal fans praised Charlotte’s composure, with the video captioned “aura” emphasizing her grace even in such moments.
The headmaster likely intended to make Louis, who was starting school for the first time, feel especially welcome. However, the order of greetings sparked conversations among royal watchers.
The video starts with footage of the Wales family arriving at Lambrook, where the headmaster greeted Prince William, then Princess Kate, and Prince George, who is second in line to the throne. The headmaster then shook Louis’ hand before moving on to Charlotte.
In the comments, the video creator explained, “The man [headmaster] was supposed to shake princess Charlotte’s hand before Louis’ hand.”
Princess Charlotte’s December was a busy one, as she attended her mother’s “Together at Christmas” carol service at Westminster Abbey, followed by the traditional royal walk to church on Christmas morning.
Now, she and her brothers are enjoying their school holidays at Sandringham before returning to Lambrook later in January.
The family is spending their break at Anmer Hall, Prince William and Princess Kate’s rural retreat.
