Princess Charlotte at King Charles’ coronation last year. Young but graceful.
The Wimbledon tennis tournament held in England last July was a hot topic for many reasons, in addition to the surprising record of Carlos Alcaraz, a 20-year-old newcomer, winning the tournament for the second time in a row. One of them was the appearance of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, who had been on hiatus due to cancer. Kate Middleton has been attending the Wimbledon final every year and presenting awards to the winners, but this year, due to cancer treatment, it was unclear whether she would attend the awards ceremony. When she appeared on the All England Club Center Court, where the tournament was held, before the final, the audience warmly welcomed her with a standing ovation.
Throughout the event, Kate Middleton was accompanied by her daughter Princess Charlotte (9). Not long ago, Princess Charlotte looked just like her great-grandmother, to the point that she was called a “mini-me of Queen Elizabeth II,” but now she has more of the look of her father and mother. Overseas media outlets have focused on Princess Charlotte’s style, which is gradually growing into a young girl, shedding her childishness.
Princess Charlotte, the second of Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton’s two sons and one daughter, was a star from the moment she left St. Mary’s Hospital in her mother’s arms on May 3, 2015, the day after her birth, and she is also someone who has rewritten the history of the British royal family. In the past, the British royal family prioritized gender when determining the line of succession to the throne. However, since 2015, when Princess Charlotte was born, the law has changed to determine the line of succession according to birth order regardless of gender. Accordingly, Princess Charlotte is third in line to the British throne, following her father, Prince William, and her older brother, Prince George. Charlotte’s younger brother, Prince Louis, is fourth, and William’s younger brother, Prince Harry, is fifth.
When Princess Charlotte was born, Britain dyed historic landmarks throughout London pink to celebrate her birth, and the newborn shawls and car seats she wore when leaving the hospital sold out. There is even an internet site that tells you what brands of clothes Princess Charlotte wore every time she went out and links to shopping malls. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is a perfect fashionista herself, and she naturally turned her daughter Princess Charlotte into a style icon by mixing and matching British mass-market and luxury brands. Princess Charlotte usually wears formal dresses and sometimes tiaras for royal events. At her grandfather King Charles III’s coronation in May last year, she wore a cream-colored dress by the British designer brand Alexander McQueen, an embroidered cape, and a headpiece with a gorgeous flower motif, garnering praise for her elegant style despite her young age. In an interview, Christine Ross, a British royal fashion expert, said, “Many of Princess Charlotte’s dresses look similar to the dresses Queen Elizabeth II wore when she was young. “In this style we find the image of a timeless, classic princess,” he said.

At the Trooping the Colour, King Charles III’s birthday parade in March, she wore a classic navy dress with white trim and ribbon decoration. This sailor-collared dress especially attracted a lot of attention because it was a style that Princess Charlotte’s grandmother, Princess Diana, often wore. In her daily life, Princess Charlotte enjoys casual outfits such as striped T-shirts and cardigans from popular brands like Ralph Lauren, along with denim skirts or pants.
King Charles of England also spotted wearing a friendship bracelet

At this year’s Wimbledon Tennis Championships awards ceremony, Princess Charlotte wore a navy blue and white polka dot dress with cream ballerina flats from the British shoe brand Papueli. The dress that Princess Charlotte wore was an item released by Guess for teenage girls. It was made of chiffon and had frills and a ribbon waist, giving it a practical yet lovely feel. It costs 70 pounds (about 120,000 won), and it sold out after Princess Charlotte wore it. Another thing that stood out in the princess’s style that day was the friendship bracelet and light-colored lip gloss that teenagers are crazy about these days.
Friendship bracelets are a culture created by the fandom of American pop star Taylor Swift. Swifties (die-hard fans of Taylor Swift) make and exchange bracelets engraved with the names of Swift’s albums or songs, inspired by the lyrics “So make the friendship bracelets Take the moment and taste it” from “You’re On Your Own, Kid” from her 10th album “Midnights.” Now, Princess Charlotte, who is soon to be a teenager, has joined the Swift fandom like any other friend her age.
Princess Charlotte also watched American pop singer Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ concert at Wembley Stadium in London with her father and brother in June. Wearing a sequin one-piece dress that resembled the pop star’s stage costume, Princess Charlotte swayed to the rhythm of the performance and also took a commemorative photo backstage with Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelsey. The rose gold sequin one-piece is a cost-effective item from the British mass-market brand John Lewis, priced at 30 pounds (about 53,000 won).

One interesting thing is that when King Charles delivered the King’s Speech at the State Opening of Parliament in July, he also had a friendship bracelet on his wrist. British media outlets are reporting that it is highly likely that this friendship bracelet was also a gift from Princess Charlotte, as King Charles often wears items gifted by his grandchildren as accessories at official events.
Overseas media outlets such as the Daily Telegraph and People showed great interest in Princess Charlotte’s much more mature appearance, responding with comments such as, “She seems to be at a turning point, changing from a cute girl in a floral dress to a more grown-up vibe. She has always maintained her appearance impeccably, and I am sure that will continue to be the case as she gets older.” “She will definitely become a new style icon, following in the footsteps of Princess Diana and Kate Middleton.”
