Queen Elizabeth II was a proud grandmother and great-grandmother, and she often spoke affectionately about her great-grandchildren, including the Prince and Princess of Wales's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Her Late Majesty shared an insight into the bond between George and Charlotte during a church service in Sandringham in January 2018.
Speaking to Ellen Clay at the time, who watched her daughter Emily, then ten, receive a Bible from the monarch, she asked her if she "looked after" her little sister, to which Ellen responded that it was the "other way around". The late Queen replied: "It's like that with Charlotte and George."
Following her royal encounter, Ellen said at the time: "She asked if Emily looked after Hadleigh and I said it was more the other way round. She said it was like that with Princess Charlotte and Prince George," while her husband Tom added: "The Queen was implying that Charlotte keeps an eye out for George rather than the other way around. It is often the case that a younger child is more confident. It is second child syndrome."
The late Queen's comments echoed a comment made by the then ***** ss of Cambridge in March 2017 as she and Prince William attended the unveiling of a war memorial commemorating the men and women who had served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, in London.
