Princess Catherine is known to have previously experienced a very relatable mum moment whilst out in London with Princess Charlotte. The mother-and-daughter duo once had to make a quick pitstop at a pub in London, with Catherine having to ask for one favour on behalf of her daughter, who would have been around three at the time.
Charlotte – who is celebrating her 11th birthday today – had told her mum that she needed to use the toilet, so Kate had to think on her feet and carry out her daughter’s request. The Phoenix pub in Stockwell was the first place they passed in 2018, and the pair wandered into a nearby pub to ask to use their bathroom.
Maggie McKinney, who was regular at the pub, told MailOnline at the time that she witnessed Charlotte walking in with her mum.
She told the publication: “I was sitting in my usual chair, and when I looked up, I saw the Duchess of Cambridge and her daughter Princess Charlotte.
“The little kiddie just trotted in with her mum, went to the toilet and then trotted out.
“They could not have been in the pub for more than ten minutes. They seem very nice, totally normal. Princess Kate was holding her daughter’s hand. Princess Charlotte was just any other little girl.”
It was reported that, before Catherine and Charlotte entered the pub, a plainclothes woman, believed to be a protection officer, walked in and asked the bar staff if a little girl could use the bathroom.
Princess Charlotte and her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, are largely kept out of the spotlight, with their parents wanting to ensure that they experience as normal a childhood as possible.
The young trio made their first public appearance of the year earlier this month.
Joining the Prince and Princess of Wales, Charlotte, George, 12, and eight-year-old Louis stole fans’ hearts as they attended the annual Easter Sunday service.
