Princess Charlotte, the beloved daughter of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has recently revealed her new hobby – playing the piano.
The eight-year-old princess has taken her first steps on a musical journey, drawing inspiration from her mother's own musical talent.
This delightful revelation came to light during a conversation between the Duchess of Cambridge and renowned pianist Lang Lang at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Lang Lang, who had just finished performing with a blind girl named Lucy, expressed his confidence in Princess Charlotte's potential to excel at the piano.
The Duchess proudly discussed her daughter's musical prowess, sharing that she had told Charlotte, “If you practice a lot, you can be like him.”
It seems that Princess Charlotte has taken this advice to heart, as Lang Lang mentioned that he believes she is indeed practicing.
Music seems to run in the royal family, as both Princess Charlotte and her older brother Prince George have shown an interest in it.
In fact, they were spotted grooving in the front row of a coronation concert, with Princess Charlotte even singing along to Katy Perry's performance of “Roar.”
This shared love for music is further highlighted by the Duchess of Cambridge's own piano skills.
She has showcased her talent on two occasions in the past two years, including a surprise musical cameo at the Royal Carols Together at Christmas Carol Show in 2021.
Looking ahead, there is another musical event on the royal calendar.
Kensington Palace recently announced that Princess Catherine will host the third annual Christmas Carol service at Westminster Abbey.
It remains to be seen whether Princess Charlotte will join her mother on stage, perhaps even showcasing her newfound piano skills.
For Princess Charlotte, music holds great importance.
She recognizes the power of music in bringing people together, especially during difficult times.
Earlier this year, the Duchess of Cambridge played the piano to support the Eurovision Song Contest.
Her short instrumental performance was featured in the opening sequence film of the contest, which the UK hosted on behalf of Ukraine amidst the Russian invasion.
Princess Charlotte's interest in music comes as no surprise, considering her family's encouragement of well-rounded development.
While she explores her musical abilities, her older brother Prince George is showing a keen interest in sports, particularly triathlon.
He has been receiving advice on the sport, including tips such as using talcum powder in his shoes.
It is heartwarming to see Princess Charlotte following in her mother's musical footsteps.
With her talent and dedication, she may very well become a skilled pianist in her own right.
As the young princess continues to grow and explore her passions, it is clear that she is carving her own path while staying true to her royal heritage.
