Princess Charlotte is following in the Queen’s footsteps with her favourite hobby

How cute is that?

So we all heard about Prince George's new hobby, right? The young heir went on his first grouse hunting trip over the weekend, and people weren't too happy. Anyway, it looks like George's sister, Princess Charlotte has a hobby of her own. And it involves animals, but not in a hunting sort of way. According to sources, the young Princess is following in her great-grandmother's footsteps, and has taken up horse riding. Sweet. According to Town & Country, Princess Charlotte has been riding horses since she was 18 months old. So half her literal life? Casual. Charlotte's mum, Kate Middleton, spoke to famous equestrian Natasha Baker back in 2016 about her daughter's love of horses. "I asked her how the children were and she said Charlotte is really enjoying her riding which is great to hear and I said we may see her here on a line-up in 20 years time." "She emphasized that Charlotte has this passion for horses and although she doesn’t echo it, she’ll do her best to champion and encourage it." Kate may not share a love of horses with Princess Charlotte, but there are a number of royals who do. The Queen herself has been a fan of horses, and the sport surrounding them, pretty much her whole life. Sure, according to W Magazine, The Queen was horse riding when she learned of the news that Prince Louis had been born. Imagine being 92 and still riding horses? Not too shabby!
