Royal Expert Says Princess Charlotte Will Enjoy a "Normal Life" Before Facing This "Pretty Intense" Pressure

Princess Charlotte celebrated her 10th birthday on Friday, May 2, and the tween has a bright future ahead. The only daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate might not be destined to become Queen—older brother Prince George is the current heir to the throne behind dad Prince William—but she'll play a starring role in the Royal Family for years to come. Although the Prince and Princess of Wales have tried their best to give Charlotte and her siblings as many "normalizing experiences" as possible, her childhood is certainly different than the average 10-year-old.

Royal expert Jennie Bond told the Mirror that even though young Charlotte has already shown the public "how dignified and composed she is at big state occasions," the pre-teen can still relax like any other kid.
