Prince George and Princess Charlotte reportedly share a close bond.
According to experts, the older brother appears to seek guidance from his younger sister, similarly to King Charles III and Princess Anne‘s dynamic.
George ‘depends on’ Charlotte
In the Channel 5 documentary entitled Prince George at 13: The Next Generation, author Katie Nicholl claimed George seems to look for support from Charlotte.
“I think he [George] rather depends on Charlotte,” the writer said in the special via The Mirror.
“[He] certainly did in the early days when it came to their public engagements and walkabouts, when George could seem, I think, compared to his sister, quite shy,” Nicholl pointed out.
George and Charlotte share a similiar dynamic to Charles and Anne
Body language expert Judi James believes the 13-year-old and his sibling are much like His Majesty and the Princess Royal.
“I think that in terms of the relationship it probably would compare a little bit to Anne and Charles, where Anne was always the more confident sibling,” the specialist said in the documentary.
“I think Charlotte, to a certain extent, seems to absolutely get protocol. She knows what needs to be done,” James added.
Charlotte is ‘the keeper of the choreography’
The commentator also noted how Charlotte sets the tone not only for George, but for Prince Louis.
“I don’t think either of them [George or Louis] have got hugely strong attention spans,” she claimed. “They will be watching the planes or talking about something. So I think that helps them relax a little bit because they know that if they are doing anything wrong, they have got their sister there, who is usually in the middle of them.”
“In a way, I think it’s probably that she goes out being the keeper of the choreography so they don’t have to, but at the same time, they know that if they do anything wrong, she will be there to correct them,” James remarked.
Charlotte ‘keeps an eye on’ George and Louis
Although the 11-year-old isn’t the firstborn of her siblings, she appears to be the one who knows best.
“We do see Charlotte keeping an eye on both of her brothers,” James noted.
“What I found really fascinating isn’t so much that she is doing that, but for me, it is the way that when she does nudge them and tap them, they both fall into line,” she explained.
