The Princess of Wales is known for having a close relationship with her three children, but the mother-daughter bond with Princess Charlotte was on full display in 2023 when the duo headed to Wimbledon.

The Princess of Wales and Charlotte were seen deep in conversation, with Kate putting her hand gently under her daughter's chin.

The pair also attended Wimbledon last year, with Charlotte gazing up to her mother with pride as the people sat in Centre Court cheered warmly. 

Kate and Charlotte's bond

Last year, Ingrid Seward, author of My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen, told HELLO!: "Charlotte seems to be very full of admiration for her mother, which I think is a lovely thing, too.

"Kate and Charlotte are great friends, and I think to Kate, their bond is very precious. The mother-daughter relationship is obviously particularly important to Kate because she has such a close relationship with her own mother, Carole Middleton

She added: "They are a very, very close family, which is something the late Queen really liked and thought would play into Kate's hands and the position that she was getting into.

"She had such a stable family and I think that's what Kate's trying to replicate."

Kate and Charlotte's recent outing

The last time the mother-daughter duo were seen together was at Trooping the Colour. Here, Kate and Charlotte used fashion to highlight their strong relationship.

Kate wore an aquamarine and white coat dress by Jenny Packham with a coordinating hat. Her daughter was her mini-me in a floaty tea dress in the same bright hue.

Charlotte's long brunette hair tumbled down her back in a way her mother's does. On the balcony of Buckingham Palace, Kate warmly brushed her daughter's hair behind her back and put a reassuring hand on her back as they headed indoors after waving to crowds of people.
