Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Princess Charlotte acting like a royal boss with her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis went viral on TikTok. The 10-year-old has carved out a formidable reputation as the unofficial royal "boss" during high-profile royal events where the cameras were watching the Wales family's every move. Prince George is the direct heir to the throne, destined to one day be king, but a fan of Charlotte compiled moments when she showed just how much of a support she can be.

Samir Hussein/WireImage The Context The video was liked 35,500 times and viewed 299,000 times having been posted with the on screen caption: "Although Charlotte is not the eldest ... she is definitely the authority in the Wales family. "Whenever the three children appear, it's clear that Prince George and Prince Louis both value Charlotte's opinion." What To Know The clip includes pictures of Prince Louis gazing up adoringly at his older sister during a walkabout at the royal family's Christmas Day walk to church in 2022. A later clip showed her telling Louis when to stop waving during the carriage procession at Trooping the Colour, in June that same year. The young prince was enthusiastically greeting royal fans at the start Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations when Charlotte reached over to pull his hand down. And she stepped in again days later when Louis appeared to be biting his nails as they watched the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which sought to tell the story of he late monarch's reign using artists, dancers and performers. Louis had been in a restless mood, though melted hearts all the same, while Charlotte felt the need to introduce some etiquette as the pair sat one row in front of then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. And at Trooping the Colour in 2024, Charlotte nudged Prince Louis to remind him to stand up straight as they watched a fly-past by the Royal Air Force from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. It is not just Louis, however, as the edit ends with a moment in which Charlotte appeared to make her feelings known to George during a moment away from the service for Elizabeth's funeral in September 2022. Charlotte's natural leadership has left many comparing her to Elizabeth, her great, grand mother. While George may one day wear the crown, it seems he—and the rest of the Wales household—will always have Charlotte to help keep things running smoothly. What People Are Saying One fan replied: "She hasn't been doing it as much because she knows she needs to let Prince George take the spotlight after his father."

Cycling-British great Hoy 'making hay while the sun shines' amid cancer treatment
FILE PHOTO: British cyclist Chris Hoy takes takes part in a parade during the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, marking the end of the celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, in London, Britain, June 5, 2022. REUTERS/Henry Nicholls/File Photo (Reuters) - Britain's six-time Olympic track cycling champion Chris Hoy said he has entered a "stability stage" in his cancer treatment and is doing well. In October last year, Hoy said he had "two to four years" to live after he was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. "I've entered a bit of a stability stage at the moment," Hoy told Sky Sports in an interview published on Tuesday. "I'm feeling good, exercising, riding the bike, busy and most importantly cancer is not the first thing I think about in the morning when I wake up and it's not the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. "I feel good, you know, I'm on constant medications, constant treatment, but it's not interfering too much with my life. And the most important thing is it's working, so I'm stable at the moment, everything's good. So making hay while the sun shines." The 49-year-old revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer in February 2024 and wrote a memoir about his life in which he described how doctors discovered his cancer after initially finding a tumour in his shoulder. "I can't believe the position I'm in now compared to 18 months ago," Hoy said. "I never imagined that I'd be able to get to this point where I'm actually just living life and not just living life, but actually appreciating it more than ever. Able to enjoy the little things." Hoy was at the vanguard of Britain's era of domination in track cycling, winning gold medals at the Athens, Beijing and London Olympics. He also claimed 11 world titles during a glittering career. Until 2021, Hoy was the most successful British Olympian and the most successful Olympic cyclist of all time before being overtaken by fellow Briton Jason Kenny who claimed his seventh Olympic gold at the Tokyo Games.

Prince Louis Looks Just Like a Young Prince William in New Video Released for His 7th Birthday
It's Prince Louis' seventh birthday—and his parents, Kate Middleton and Prince William, are celebrating with their traditional birthday portrait, and even a little extra love for their youngest child. On April 23, the Prince and Princess of Wales dropped a new portrait of the baby of their family of five, taken outdoors by photographer Josh Shinner, who previously photographed William, Kate, Louis, and his older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte for their 2023 family Christmas card. It was a departure from the norm for Kate, who typically takes her children's birthday portraits, though not the first time a photographer other than her has snapped her kids' annual photo. Keeping in line with William and Kate's recent love of videos outdoors—think Kate's September 9 video announcing that she had completed chemotherapy and subsequent videos showing her in nature, like one earlier this month with the Scouts—the Prince and Princess of Wales released a followup video to the traditional portrait. The video showed Louis' toothless smile on full display, as the newly minted 7-year-old has lost his two front teeth between his last public appearance on December 25, 2024—when the royal family attended church on Christmas Day, as they traditionally do—to now. In the short clip, Louis—still wearing the jeans, collared shirt, and sweater he sported in his birthday portrait—runs around outdoors, leans in close to the camera, walks in nature, jumps off a log, and poses for the camera. At one point, Louis sweetly shrugs his shoulders as his photoshoot continues and says what appears to be, 'I can jump from over here?' while speaking to the photographer. Louis' rambunctious and playful spirit—which has been such an antidote over the years to some of the dark moments the royals have faced in the recent past—is evidenced as he lets his personality shine through. 'Seven today!' the video was captioned. From an early age, mom Kate said that Louis 'is keeping us on our toes'—and he hasn't stopped. Louis' cheeky hijinks at numerous royal occasions—from the Buckingham Palace balcony at Trooping the Colour to the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Pageant to King Charles' coronation and so many other staples in the royal diary—provide humor, levity, and a big dose of fun. And, though Kate has previously said that Louis is the child that looks most like her, it's hard to deny his resemblance to a young William, as well! Lou Bug—as Kate sweetly calls him—is growing up quickly, Kate previously said (per The Mirror). 'I keep thinking Louis is a baby, but he's a big boy now,' she said, adding that it felt 'like yesterday' when Louis was actually a baby after his 2018 birth. 'Being the youngest is often something of a privilege,' former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said. 'You get away with a lot more, and you are that little bit special as the lastborn. Catherine probably lets Louis run wild more than she did with George. She and William are very experienced parents, and I'm sure they love all three kids equally—but probably in different ways. George because he's the firstborn and has a destiny to fulfill, Charlotte because she's the only girl, and Louis because he's the youngest.' Louis also has a close relationship with his grandfather, who he calls 'Grandpa Wales': 'He clearly loves his Grandpa and is not at all in awe of the fact he happens to be the King,' Bond added. 'I think Charles cherishes every moment he can spend with the children, and that's possibly one reason why he spends more time at Windsor nowadays. I'm sure Louis loves having his Grandpa read to him and tell him stories, and he'll no doubt be thoroughly spoiled on his birthday.' Louis' birthday on April 23 falls on the last day before George, Charlotte, and Louis return to school after their Easter break, so he'll have ample time to play, open presents, and spend time with his family. 'Louis has won hearts of many people with his antics,' Bond added. 'I'd much rather see a cheeky chappie than an immaculately behaved kid.' Read the original article on InStyle
