Princess Charlotte, at just nine years old, is stealing the spotlight with her royal charm, and social media is taking notice! From key moments at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding to her appearances at Princess Kate’s carol concert and the recent coronation, she’s truly become an icon.
A TikTok clip celebrating her standout moments has gained serious traction, racking up over 20k likes and 127k views. The post simply declares, “Princess Charlotte is an icon.”
This viral video highlights her adorable role as a bridesmaid at the royal wedding in May 2018, along with her appearances at significant events like King Charles III’s coronation and Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. Even her time at Wimbledon made the cut!
The clip suggests that Charlotte might be the richest child globally, a claim some outlets have reported. However, take that with a grain of salt! Experts from Brand Finance have projected her potential economic impact based on her mother, Princess Kate’s, fashion influence, estimating a whopping $5 billion worth for Charlotte in the future.
But here’s the kicker: her actual net worth isn’t known, so calling her the richest child is a stretch. Also, if she follows in her parents’ footsteps as a working royal, she won’t cash in on that potential fashion icon status.
An interesting point from the video reveals that Charlotte is making history as the first female heir to leapfrog her younger sibling in the royal line of succession. Previously, under the old rules, younger male siblings took precedence over female heirs.
Unlike her aunt Princess Anne, who ranks below her younger brothers, Charlotte is positioned above her younger brother, Prince Louis, though she still trails behind her elder brother, Prince George.
The video wraps up with a nod to her fashion icon status, stating that “any dress or outfit the little princess wears instantly becomes high fashion.”
