Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed their first daughter, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, on May 2, 2015.
The little one joined her older brother, Prince George, and he was “very excited” to meet his little sister, a source told Us Weekly exclusively at the time.
The insider added, “George was aware that he would soon have a new brother or sister and has been excited throughout the pregnancy. He might have been a little shy around the new baby, but everything went well. He’s great around other children. He’s a very curious boy.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were “ready to take on the challenge” of two kids, the source went on to tell Us, explaining, “They are a lot more calm this time. When George was brought back after he was born, they were so nervous. But the second time, they feel relaxed and are able to take in and enjoy these first moments at home with the baby.”
George and Charlotte’s younger sibling, Prince Louis, arrived three years later. “Charlotte is really enjoying having a younger brother to play with,” a source told Us exclusively in May 2018. “She’s taking her big sister duties very seriously. She won’t leave baby Louis’ side. … Charlotte is protective, just like [George]. They have a great bond, and a similar connection is growing between Charlotte and Louis.”
The princess was a big fan of dancing and “definitely a girly-girl,” the insider said at the time, adding, “She’s very confident. She’s not afraid of a grazed knee and it’s not going to stop her from running around. She moves at the speed of light!”
