The mother in me is saying thank God she took a cardigan.
I notice that Charlotte's hair is straight and not braided as it often is.
Maybe that's because her Mum usually does the braids! 😁

Very nice pictures! Great to see the father and daughter duo!
I never understand the logic behind this. The future of the monarchy is safe. That's the beauty of a monarchy- you always know who is coming next. There's a clear line of succession. If something did happen to William and George (I obviously hope not), then Charlotte would be next in line.
Generally, I agree with you. However, after the year they've had, I'm giving them a year to re-set and be grateful.
I can't stand the justification that they want to be involved, hands-on parents. Virtually every parent wants to be like that - the brutal reality is you often can't do everything for kids whilst juggling a job.
The logic is not to have Harry and the wife be next. That is the whole point of "breaking up" the family when travelling is it not?
If the whole family were together on a plane/in a car and God forbid something were to happen, Harry would be next and l don´t think anyone in their right mind would call the monarchy safe in his hands.
But people always talk as though this is a long held historic tradition- did Charles and William travel separately to protect Monarchy from Andrew? I don't think so.
It's an interesting premise - Harry becoming King. Honestly, I think people would revolt and Harry would have to abdicate. And I don't think Harry would want the crown either. Although maybe Meghan would persuade him otherwise.
And he wouldn't know what to do with it.
Yes, Charles and William traveled separately from the time William was 12, and they still follow that protocol today. The "rule" has been in place for a number of decades, at least, once air travel began to be the primary mode of transportation, and I think it makes sense. To wipe out the entire family in the line of succession could be potentially disastrous (especially now). It seems pretty clear to me from the last two families and sets of siblings (Charles and Andrew and William and Harry) that one is raised to be the heir, while the other... not so much. While difficult to tell at this young age, I do think that Charlotte would be a great leader, but that runs into the same problem. If the family is travelling together, a plane crash would likely take them all out at once.
There was a time where a lot of people would have happily has Andrew as King. His public downward slide didn’t really begin until his place in the LOS was remote and he was tossed out to pasture…
