Royal fans in tears over Princess Charlotte's reaction in new pictures

At the end of the challenge - which saw Catherine hike the biggest peaks in Scotland, Wales and England - the Princess of Wales was reunited with her husband Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The moment was captured by a photographer, with the pictures showing the family embracing each other warmly. However, it seemed to be the photograph of Princess Charlotte’s reaction to seeing her mum that caught the hearts and attention of royal fans.

This is because the 11-year-old princess looks emotional to see her mum at the end of her challenge, with one photograph showing Charlotte looking emotional, and another showing her hugging her mum tightly.

Responding to the sweet moment, one fan wrote on X: “I’m sobbing. Princess Charlotte’s reaction to seeing her mum after Catherine completed the Three Peaks Challenge for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.”

Someone else said: “These pics should have come with a warning...now a lot of us are sobbing.”

Another person commented: “Aww, Princess Charlotte is making me emotional.”

Someone else wrote: “Ah, she looks so emotional and so proud of her mum, well, she should be.”

One royal fan added: “This made me cry….”

Other photographs from that day show Catherine hugging her husband, Prince William, and her two sons, Prince George and Prince Louis.

A photograph also shared by Kensington Palace shows the family posing with Catherine’s brother James and their parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
