Princess Charlotte for Queen of England!
Hmm, what’s that? That’s not how the British monarchy works? Well, that’s a major bummer, because I’ve never seen a 7-year-old more ready or more capable to be in charge. (C’mon, they let Louis XIV run France when he was only 5!)
On Tuesday, People resurfaced a video taken Sunday, June 5, the final day of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, a.k.a the celebration of her 70 years on the British throne. The Royal Fam, including all three Cambridge kids and their parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, gathered on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for some patriotic standing as the national anthem, “God Save the Queen,” rang out.

Prince George, 8, appeared to reach out to the balcony’s ledge, but that’s not in the script, George! Princess Charlotte sprang into action, reaching a hand out to gently, gracefully, remind him that one must stay perfectly still while great-grandma’s song is playing. (See the video here.)
After the anthem concluded, balcony touching was once again permitted.
