Princess Charlotte maintaining perfect posture while her family all reacted to King Charles III's birthday parade has caught attention on social media.
The princess, who turned ten this month, was on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, and mother Princess Kate.
And while the rest of the family all leaned over to try to catch a glimpse of the parade for VE Day on May 5, Charlotte remained completely restrained.

A TikTok video of the moment went viral after it was viewed 682,000 times and liked 75,000 times, having been posted with the message: "Charlotte's Straightness 🤭❤️🔥."
What to Know
The royals gathered to watch a military procession marking the 80th anniversary of the Allies' Victory in Europe over the Nazis.
The procession showcased ceremonial traditions of the British military, including displays by Regiments of the Household Division and Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
For some royal watchers, Prince Louis stole the show, copying Prince George and giving an exaggerated eye roll in another heart-warming moment.
However, fans of Princess Charlotte still enjoyed her poise on the palace balcony.
It was a big day for Prince George too as he got to meet veterans from Normandy and other survivors of World War II during a rare royal engagement.
Prince William and Kate took him around tables during the Buckingham Palace reception so he could speak to guests.
What People Are Saying
One fan replied to the TikTok post: "I don't know what her parents told her so she would be like this but her aura really makes me think that she should become queen, she has everything for her."
Another wrote: "Princess Charlotte = princess Diana+ queen Elizabeth II (Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana)."
And a third wrote: "Hmmm but its kinda sad isn't it? She is like the next Princess Anne, she is more mature then her brother since she was really young, no matter how hard u work, the one who will be throne is her brother."
What Happens Next
The royals will next be out in force on the Buckingham Palace balcony for King Charles III's birthday parade on June 14, though exact attendance is yet to be confirmed.

Can't wait to visit!!" "It's giving Beauty and the Beast [the animation film] vibes," another commenter said. A TikTok user said, "the baths are gonna be ethereal." "I'm so jealous rn [right now]," said one commenter, and another wrote, "You are so lucky. How can I not feel envious." A commenter said, "Adding to the list of things to make for my future home." According to a study published in the International Journal of Culture and Art Studies in October 2024, "the stained-glass industry has seen notable growth and is expected to maintain this positive trend in the foreseeable future." Recent data has shown that the global stained-glass market was valued at $4.1 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $6.8 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.3 percent from 2023 to 2032, the study noted. The viral video comes amid soaring housing costs in the United States. A surge in rent prices during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an "unprecedented affordability crisis," with around half of U.S. renter households reportedly burdened by housing costs, according to a 2024 report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University. Around 12.1 million households are "severely cost-burdened," with more than half of their income spent on housing expenses. Millions of potential homebuyers in the country have also been "priced out of the market by elevated home prices and interest rates," the report found. The spike in home prices was reported in 97 of the top 100 markets, with higher rises in the northeast and Midwest regions. Do you have a home interior-related video or story to share?

'I flew from Manchester to Ibiza and spent less than a night out in the UK'
A savvy Brit spent less jetting to Ibiza than she would have done on a night out in the UK. Savannah Southward decided against paying extortionate prices in Blighty. The 22-year-old booked some cheap flights to spend 17 hours dancing and soaking up the Spanish sun. Savannah and her pal Leighton Speak spent just £45 on their Ryanair tickets from Manchester Airport. READ MORE: Cordon in place and forensics scouring scene after shooting READ MORE: LIVE: Emergency services called to ongoing incident on railway line as trains stopped - updates The duo landed in Ibiza at around 10pm before heading to British DJ duo CamelPhat's opening party at nightclub Pacha. The salon owner arrived around midnight and partied until 6am, before the pair headed to the beach. The pals sunbathed their hangovers away and topped up their tans before heading back to the UK. She spent £40 at the club and £15 on spending money so in total the trip costs her £100. 'Even though Ibiza is an expensive place I didn't spend more than I would on a night in the UK,' Savannah, of Wigton, near Carlisle, Cumbria, told Luxury Travel Daily. 'I think a lot of people do day trips abroad because there's always cheap flights and sometimes you spend less than you would in the UK. 'I would absolutely pick Ibiza nightlife over the UK, it's always so busy with so many options of clubs and music. 'We landed about 10pm and had some pre-drinks before we went to CamelPhat's opening party at Pacha. 'It opened at 11pm but we got there for about 12:30am and stayed until 6am. 'We then waited on the beach until it was time to go back to the airport about 12pm. 'We didn't go to sleep but we were definitely ready for a nap when we got on the plane. 'The whole night went so fast we didn't even have time to think about being tired. 'We both agreed it was the best night out we've ever had and now we know how easy and affordable it is we have rebooked for July.' The duo took the trip last month flying out on 20 May and returning the next day.
