Kate Middleton recalls Princess Charlotte’s ‘very happy’ moment

The Princess of Wales shared a touching anecdote about her daughter Princess Charlotte, who turns nine next week, that brightened her day in an unexpected way.

Kate remembers the moment fondly during a visit to the VSI Razom Community Hub in Bracknell last October.

She was there to learn about the organization’s work to support Ukrainian refugees, and during her stay she had the chance to chat to an eight-year-old girl named Liza.

Leaning down to Lisa’s eye level, the princess said, “I heard my daughter singing this morning and it’s a song called ‘Shine Jesus Shine’ and it made me so happy this morning.”

Lisa then excitedly responded to the song’s title, leading Kate to ask, “Do you know that song? Is it the same tune? I heard it this morning and it made me so happy.”

It came after Prince William revealed that mornings in the Wales family usually start with Prince George and Princess Charlotte arguing over what music to listen to.

Charlotte and her 10-year-old siblings both inherited a love of music, her father said. But their tastes are extremely different; While Charlotte often likes to listen to Waka Waka by Shakira in the morning, George enjoys AC/DC.

“I’m amazed at how much my children have already inherited my family’s love of music,” said Prince William, 41. Most mornings there is a massive fight between Charlotte and Prince George over who gets to play. A song will be played.”

“And I, now, basically have to prioritize that one day someone does it and the next day it’s someone else’s turn. So, George does his thing, then Charlotte does her thing. Noise for Music is like that Is.”

But the future king stressed that his children’s passion for music has made him proud. She said she loved watching the three children dance, frolic and sing along to their chosen tunes.
