Princess Charlotte 'inherits hilarious trait from late Queen' after bearing uncanny resemblance

More info Princess Charlotte has 'inherited' a personality trait from Queen Elizabeth II, who commentators say she bears an 'uncanny resemblance' to. Prince William and Princess Kate's only daughter marked her 10th birthday last week. To mark the occasion, Kensington Palace released a new picture of the princess. The portrait, taken by the Princess of Wales on an iPhone, shows Charlotte wearing a camouflage jacket in the rolling hills of Cumbria. It has been likened to images of her great-grandmother's time in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. The Queen was appointed as an honorary second subaltern in 1945. She subsequently trained as a driver and mechanic, achieving the rank of honorary junior commander, the female equivalent of captain, after just five months. The image of Charlotte shows an adventurous princess, happy to be in nature. With her hair tied back, she is wearing a backpack and a Jack Pyke leaf-print jacket.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, royal expert Phil Dampier said: 'Winston Churchill once said of Queen Elizabeth that he had never seen such maturity in a child so young, and Charlotte seems to have inherited that trait from her great-grandmother, to whom she bears an uncanny resemblance.' Dampier added: 'I'm told that Charlotte has also inherited from the late Queen a brilliant ability to mimic prominent figures.' Dampier believes the skill is something which could come in handy at Christmas, when the Royal Family are believed to enjoy playing charades at Sandringham. Speaking to The Mirror, he said: 'Queen Elizabeth used to have her family in stitches with her impersonations of politicians, including US Presidents and former Russian leader Boris Yeltsin." Broadcaster Gyles Brandeth once lauded the Queen's knack for imitation on the Right Royal Podcast, revealing that she "could do regional accents from all over the country". The former MP claimed the Queen began doing accents as a teenager. (Image: PA Archive/PA Images) He said: "Florence Desmond was a female impersonator. And in the 1930s and 1940s, she was famous on the radio doing impersonations of people like Mae West, Barletta. And Queen Elizabeth II, or she was then Princess Elizabeth, living in Windsor Castle, thought 'Ooh this is what I'd like to be. I'd like to be an impressionist.' "And the Queen, then as a teenager, began doing impressions. And she said to me, 'Oh, I can still do George Formby'. And there and then the Queen picked up an imaginary ukulele, began strumming it and singing 'When I'm Cleaning Windows' in a perfect Lancashire accent." Dampier says Charlotte is also well-known for her feisty attitude, never shying away from keeping older brother Prince George, 11, and younger brother Louis, seven, in line. During Trooping the Colour last year, Charlotte could be seen keeping Louis in check during the formalities. The Mirror reported that Charlotte was seen scolding Louis as he joyfully danced to the brisk step of the Scots Guards performing Highland Laddie. Lip reader Nicola Hickling noticed Charlotte instructing Louis with an assertive: "You have to stop doing that. Watch the parade", only for Louis to cheekily respond: "I won't". Charlotte was said to be seen firmly telling her brother to "do as you're told".
