Princess Charlotte delighted royal fans when she asked her father, Prince William, to pass on a sweet message to the England women’s football team.
During William’s solo visit to St George’s Park in Burton-upon-Trent in June 2022, Charlotte quickly became the talk of the day, despite not attending herself.
The Prince of Wales, 43, was presented with football kits for his three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Charlotte’s sweet 6-word message
After receiving the thoughtful gifts and posing for pictures with the England squad, William proudly shared his daughter’s heartfelt six-word message with the players.
William revealed: “Charlotte wants me to tell you she’s really good in goal… a budding star for the future!”

Jennie told OK! magazine: “She’s not an overly girlie girl.”
“She’s quite full-on – she’ll give her brother George a run for his money on the football pitch, and she’s quite sporty in general, like her mother.”
Charlotte, now eight, has often shown her passion for various sports, from football and rugby to gymnastics.

In 2022, she mentioned that Charlotte is especially fond of gymnastics, spending much of her time “upside-down, doing handstands and cartwheels.”
Kate, 43, also revealed her daughter’s love for rugby after becoming patron of the Rugby Football Union in early 2022.
During a training session with England players at Twickenham Stadium, Kate told team members Charlotte was enjoying playing rugby at home.
