Princess Charlotte is said to rule the roost at home - and her strong, confident personality is something her parents are all too aware of.

Prince William previously gave a hilarious insight into his sassy daughter's character as he opened up about home life during an official engagement in the West Midlands. In a video shared by MailOnline at the time, William revealed how Princess Charlotte would respond when anyone asked her age.

"If you ask her, she says she's 16," he revealed. "Charlotte says, 'I'm six now, I'll do whatever I want'. They grow up very fast!"

Fast forward three years, and the Princess has grown into a popular and fun-loving young lady.

She attends Lambrook with her two brothers; George, ten, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five, are in Years Six, Four and One respectively at the Berkshire prep school. A source recently told HELLO!: "They're lovely kids.

"Charlotte is so kind and friendly and the other children adore her. She's kind to the kids in younger years and she's very popular. George seems like a nice boy, too, and little Louis just has so much energy."

Prince William and Princess Kate are determined to make sure their three children enjoy as normal a childhood as possible. At school, their daughter was initially registered as Charlotte Cambridge, but her friends now call her by a nickname she is said to adore.

Reports suggest her pals have shortened her name and call her Lottie Wales, as a nod to her parents' titles given to them by King Charles when the Queen passed away.

In the past year, Charlotte has stepped out for more royal engagements and celebrations more than ever. The royal, who is third in line to the throne, attended Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, her grandfather King Charles III's Coronation, and even got a big cheer when she attended Wimbledon last summer.

On family engagements, Charlotte is seen to take on a leading role, looking after her brothers - or admonishing them - with a quiet confidence.

And according to one royal expert, that self-assurance will only continue to grow given the strong female role models in her life.

Speaking to OK! Magazine , former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond shared, "Charlotte strikes me as quite a confident young lady but, with two brothers, she will no doubt be looking to her mother and other women in the family as role models - from her great-grandmother the Queen to her own mum.

"All three children have a claim to think of themselves as pretty special to their parents: George because he is the heir, Charlotte because she’s the only girl, and Louis because he’s the youngest.

"Charlotte is reaching the age when she can really appreciate her mother’s sense of style and they can share 'girlie' moments together. Catherine also provides the perfect role model for how to behave as a senior member of the royal family."
