Princess Charlotte's birthday plans revealed by Prince William
Princess Charlotte turned four-years-old this week, and Prince William has revealed his daughter’s 'rowdy party' plans.
The Duke of Cambridge, while speaking to children‘s author Julia Donaldson during her CBE investiture ceremony, shared his daughter’s plans for her special day.
Speaking to ITV News, Julia Donaldson revealed afterwards that William candidly discussed Princess Charlotte’s birthday plans – and it sounds like she made the most of her celebrations!
She revealed: ‘He said it’s his daughter’s birthday today and he loves the book. He reads my stories to his children, and he said he was going to have quite a rowdy party - he’s got a lot of children (coming).’
And, by ‘rowdy’, the young royal is expected to be eating a serious amount of birthday cake, and dropping some dance moves.
Of course, four-year-olds know how to party - and Prince William has previously mentioned: ‘My daughter Charlotte loves dancing’.
The little one has already started dancing lessons, according to her mother Kate.
