Princess Charlotte's surprise appearance at the Commonwealth Games alongside her parents delighted royal fans.
The seven-year-old made her first public outing without either of her brothers at the Games - and p ulled some excitable faces as she watched the swimming action at the aquatics centre. She also took in some hockey and gymnastics and proud mum Kate revealed that gymnastics was her daughter's favourite sport and she loves nothing more than doing cartwheels and handstands. But it's now emerged that there was another moment from Charlotte's day out you might have missed - and it's gone viral on social media thanks to royal fans.
In a snap from the Cambridge's visit to the swimming competition, dad Prince William can be seen posing for a selfie with a group of women sat in front of him, who were volunteering at the Games.
And while William is all smiles for the photo, Charlotte can also be seen in the shot looking less than impressed.
Sharing the photo on Twitter, one royal fan joked: "Ladies… be warned, Princess Charlotte does not approve of fangirling over her daddy…."

Another said: "We’ve all been there, Lottie!"
While one fan added: "Brilliant, natural reaction of any little girl."
The picture comes after royal fans also gushed over Charlotte's seemingly sweet bond with her dad William, who was on hand to guide her throughout the day.
There were several moments when the second-in-line to the throne offered his daughter support by showering her with affection.
At one point, he tucked her hair behind her ears and tried to boost her spirits when she seemed a little bored and restless while watching the hockey.
One wrote on Twitter : "I did notice that Charlotte is very fond of William and vice versa. She was very engaged with him and snuggling up to him. They have a good bond as father and daughter."
Another added: "Prince William and Princess Charlotte are so cute!"
Charlotte was described as "charming” by Tim Lawler, chief executive of SportsAid, who hosted the royal visit to Birmingham University, where the royals learnt about the Team England Futures initiative.
She appeared curious about her surroundings and the people around her at the university site, and a little apprehensive at times, but received a reassuring arm around her shoulder or word in her ear from William, and held Kate’s hand at other moments.
The young princess revealed gymnastics was the sport she liked most and joined a nutritional workshop helping her parents place pictures of foods such as nuts, bread and grapes into the right groups, whether protein, carbohydrates, antioxidants or healthy fats.
