Princess Charlotte has only just turned six but she already has plenty of confidence and a cheeky attitude to match.
Her father Prince William, 38, revealed the feisty schoolgirl says she is ’16’ when asked how old she is and says: ‘I’m six now. I’ll do what I want’.
Speaking on an engagement in the West Midlands yesterday, William also revealed and Kate Middleton, 39, hosted a small garden party to mark their daughter’s sixth birthday on Sunday, inviting ‘one other family’ to celebrate.
Government guidelines allow two households to gather outside, meaning the Cambridges would have been allowed to host another family in their garden at Kensington Palace.

When asked whether Charlotte had a ‘lovely birthday’, William replied: ‘She did thank you very much, yes.
‘Unfortunately for her obviously last year there was no birthday party because of lockdown but this year (we had) one other family, so that was it.
‘So it wasn’t a party as such but we made it as fun for her as possible.’
Prince William later joked ‘if you ask her, she says she’s 16… Charlotte says, “I’m six now, I’ll do what I want”.’
He added: ‘They grow up very fast’.
Princess Charlotte, the second of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s three children, turned six on Sunday.
