Kids will be kids — even little princesses!
Princess Charlottestole the show at her parents’ charity sailing race earlier this month when sheplayfully stuck out her tongueat the crowd below her. But it turns out the cheeky move wasn’t directed at the crowd or the cameras — it was for grandpa Mike Middleton!
Kate Middletonpointed out a group of the family’s friends, which reportedly included her dad, to her 4-year-old daughter from the window. But instead of waving to her grandpa, Charlotte stuck out her tongue. Kate’s reaction was priceless as she looked out at her dad and gave a hearty laugh before leading Charlotte away from the window.

This isn’t the first time thatPrincess Charlottehas showed off her tongue-waging. At uncle Prince Harry‘s May 2018 wedding toMeghan Markle, the royal pulled the move as her car arrived at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. (Of course, her royal uncle would probably approve — as a youngster himself,Harry made a silly face out the car windowafter a visit to the hospital when his cousin, Princess Beatrice, was born in 1988.

Kate is always ready at a moment’s notice when it comes to keeping her children on their best royal behavior. After five jam-packed days of their royal tour in Poland and Germany in 2017,Princess Charlotte got a little fussybefore heading back to London on a private plane.
But mom Kate put her expert squat and chat skills to the test, immediately calming her royal toddler down and putting a smile on her face. William then helped her onto the plane.
