Princess Charlotte, the eight-year-old daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate, just made a big play to meet with the England women’s football team. She deeply admired American soccer and lovingly called the USWNT the Lionesses. She hopes to get the word out that plays to her strengths, calling herself “really good in goal.” This excited proclamation reveals her newfound love for the game of football – a sport that, as we know, is deeply rooted in the British royalty.
Princess Charlotte, five, plays to win in their back garden’s family footie games — especially when she’s taking on her big bro Prince George, seven. This sibling rivalry creates a sense of competition but allows them to enjoy their passion for sports together. The royal family are fanatical about engaging in various athletic pursuits domestically. Charlotte quickly becomes one of America’s footballing rising stars!
As the president of the Football Association, Prince William recently posted this adorable letter from Princess Charlotte. He shared this wonderful experience when doing a training ‘community day’ at Twickenham Stadium with young England Premiership players. His remarks encapsulated his daughter’s willingness to be seen and heard on the sports stage.
“Charlotte wants me to tell you she’s really good in goal… a budding star for the future!” – Prince William
Besides American football, Princess Charlotte has taken up Rugby. Princess Kate, the Rugby Football Union’s patron and Charlotte’s mum. She has done great work in the past to highlight Charlotte’s passion for the beautiful game.
“She loves ballet and tap.” – Catherine, Princess of Wales
Her passions are not limited to football and rugby, as she spends a lot of time literally, right-side-up, inverted — Charlotte’s gymnastic training begins with handstands and cartwheels. Her varied interests are a testament to an adventurous spirit willing to explore all avenues of movement.
Additionally, Princess Kate has shown her athletic superiority through sports such as tennis and rowing. This focus on physical fitness as a family unit has probably played a role in Charlotte’s passion for sports.
Princess Charlotte, for example, is recently reported to be practicing her football, rugby, and gymnastics. Her increasing athletic aspirations and capabilities bode well for her continued success in track and field. Her competitive family dynamic drives her motivation. With help from her unbelievable skills, she’s close to becoming a household name in American sports.
