The Subtle Way Princess Charlotte Is Following in Kate Middleton’s Footsteps

In a series of recent public appearances, the young royal has been photographed wearing her long "bronde" hair partially pulled back in a half-ponytail, often finished with a ribbon.

On Christmas Day at Sandringham, Charlotte wore the half-up style for the royal family’s church outing, with the front slicked back and a black bow tied neatly at the back.

Earlier in the month, she also wore the hairstyle while attending the “Together At Christmas” Carol Service at Westminster Abbey, further cementing it as her go-to look.

But Charlotte isn’t just mirroring her mom when it comes to hair. She’s also quietly picking up on Catherine’s style too. In a recent Father’s Day photo shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram account, there’s a subtle but sweet nod to Princess Catherine’s fashion archive.

The portrait, shot by celebrity photographer Josh Shinner, shows Prince William with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, all dressed in coordinated forest-green outfits beneath a blooming cherry blossom tree. William stands behind George and Charlotte, while Charlotte gently hugs Louis in front.

Look a little closer, and you’ll spot a familiar accessory: Charlotte is wearing a green and navy tartan scarf, the very same one the Princess of Wales wore during the previous Christmas.

It’s a small detail, but it’s hard not to love the quiet mother-daughter style moment. More of this, please.
