The young princesses share the same hobby.
The tension between the Waleses and the Sussexes shows no sign of ending; the last time they were seen in public together was in 2022. But while the parents of the families have some issues to sort out, it appears that royal cousins Princess Charlotte and Princess Lilibet have a few things in common.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham in their first joint apperance since returing to the UK. It was during the visit that Meghan revealed that Lilibet “loves gymnastics,” and her older cousin Charlotte is also a fan.
Speaking to young children at CRS, she reportedly asked them during a confidence-building workshop, “When do you feel most yourself?”
When someone answered that it was during their favourite hobby, doing gymnastics, Meghan responded: “My daughter’s doing gymnastics right now. She loves it.”
Earlier this year, Prince William also revealed that Charlotte “loves gymnastics and ballet”. During a family day out at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow earlier this year, Charlotte was presented with her own signed Team Wales leotard. Princess Catherine also shared that Charlotte isn’t the only lover of gymnastics among the siblings, and that Louis is also following in his sister’s footsteps, Woman and Home reports.
She said: “Louis, you’re perfecting your handstand at the moment,” to which the eight-year-old responded: “But Charlotte says I’m not very good.”
It is unknown whether the cousins will meet each other while the Sussexes are back in the UK. George, Charlotte, and Louis have all met Archie as a baby in 2019, but none have met Lilibet.
With the rift between William and Harry still very much present, it is unknown when the young royals will ever have the chance to start building a family-bond.
