The Princess of Wales is known for her simple, sophisticated sense of fashion – and she’s clearly passing it down to her daughter. 

Eight-year-old Princess Charlotte looked adorable as she helped her mother Kate Middleton during a visit to the Windsor Baby Bank with her brothers, sporting a chic £37 red jumper.

The young royal teamed it with a trendy £42 skirt for a fun and festive look that’s perfect for the winter.

Her outfit was from French family brand Cyrillus, known for creating couture-inspired clothes for the whole family. 

Meanwhile, Kate, 41, channelled understated elegance in a £410.40 ensemble.

She donned a creamy £158 Reiss jumper to match her daughter’s Christmas-colour styling, teamed with simple jeans.

The mother-of-three also wore her £250 combat boots from See By Chloe, which added a casual element to her look. 

She kept her jewellery minimal with Pearl and Disc Hoop Earrings from Accessorize – which were originally £8 but are now retailing for £2.40.

Charlotte diligently helped out her mother during the baby bank visit – and the young royal was keen to show her enthusiasm.

The second child of Kate and Prince William exclaimed: ‘Oh la la!’ as she walked into the centre and saw the array of toys on display before she and her brothers Prince George, 10, and Prince Louis, five, dutifully helped to arrange Christmas gift packages for families in need.

The clip, shared by Kensington Palace yesterday but filmed on an afternoon last month after the children had finished school, also showed Charlotte gushing over a tiny baby gro – and it’s clear she is very much aware of her role.

As a young Princess of Wales, Charlotte immediately recognised the Welsh dragon pattern on the baby gro and beamed as she held it up and said: ‘It’s Welsh!’

The young royal also gushed over a ‘sweet’ children’s coat she pulled out of a box, which will go to a child in need this Christmas.

Charlotte visited the baby bank with her older brother George and younger brother Louis as their mother, the Princess of Wales, showed them how the centre works to help families struggling to make ends meet.

Kate’s first visit to the centre was in April this year – during which she promised to return with their children. 

And if the glossy video is anything to go by, the Wales children thoroughly enjoyed their time at the Baby Bank – as well as learning plenty.

At the beginning of the clip Louis, wearing a Fair Isle jumper over a checked shirt, holds his own box, grinning broadly, ahead of his sister wearing a red jumper, skirt and ankle boots and George in a navy jumper, blue trousers and trainers.

The three young royals then walk into the Windsor centre carrying their own donations.

Sporting a white roll-neck jumper, Kate helps her three youngsters to put down their boxes and tells them: ‘Here there are lots of people who give up their time. And there are lot of volunteers who come and help out. And so you’re the volunteers for this evening.’

‘Ooh la la,’ exclaims Charlotte, using a favourite phrase of hers.

‘Let’s see,’ says Louis eagerly, peeking into bags of donations.

Charlotte picks out a tiny coat. ‘So sweet,’ she says, endearingly.

As the children’s voices are heard on the video, it marks a rare occasion on which royal fans can actually hear how the Wales children sound.

Although Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have had the eyes of the world on them on many occasions, including the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and funeral and King Charles’s Coronation, it is uncommon to hear them speak on camera.

However, there have been a few occasions on which the royal children’s voices have been heard – for example, football-mad Princess Charlotte’s well-wishes to the Lionesses at the Euros last summer in a video recorded with Prince William, when she simply said: ‘Good luck, I hope you win, bye!’ She recorded a similar message with her father ahead of the Women’s World Cup final this summer.

During the visit, little Louis pulled out a toy version of King Kong from the array of gifts and commented on how big the plastic gorilla was

As a toddler, Charlotte also revealed her voice to the world in an impromptu moment at her little brother Louis’s christening – when she stared down photographers outside the church and told them: ‘You’re not coming.’ 

In 2020, all three Wales siblings gave Sir David Attenborough a grilling in a video shared by Kensington Palace, asking him tough questions about species facing extinction and other environmental issues. 

And fearless Princess Charlotte, who was just five years old at the time, revealed to the environmentalist that she likes spiders – asking him if he shared her love of arachnids.

Three years on from the Attenborough quizzing, royal fans have had another glimpse into the lives of the Wales children, as they express their excitement over the tasks they are helping out with. 

The children start busily picking out gifts, Charlotte and George each holding a festive bag and placing items inside.

Louis seems particularly excited by a giant toy King Kong, grabbing it and exclaiming: ‘This is a big guy! ‘

George and Charlotte can also be seen handwriting notes for the gift bags.

A quarter of families with a child under five years of age live in poverty in the UK, according to the Department of Work and Pensions – meaning that baby banks have become a sad necessity of life for many and provide a vital lifeline in challenging circumstances.

The Bank at Windsor has been making up gift bags for children for the past five years and this Christmas will distribute 1,500 of them, as well as their usual parcels of clothes and goods.
