The Queen was driven to Kensington Palace this afternoon where she was introduced to her great-grandaughter, Princess Charlotte
The Queen has finally been introduced to her great-granddaughter Princess Charlotte.
The 89-year-old monarch travelled to Kensington Palace this afternoon to meet with the newborn royal, where she stayed for just half an hour.
The Queen was spotted arriving in a green Range Rover at a side entrance to the palace at around 2.35pm. She then left just before 3pm through the main entrance on Kensington High Street, in a convoy of two cars and and four police motor bikes. The princess, who was born three days ago, is the Queen’s fifth great-grandchild.
Just after his mother left the palace, Prince Charles was also seen arriving for his second cuddle with the newborn royal. The doting grandfather had already been to visit Princess Charlotte with Camilla on Sunday.
It is likely he was taking the chance to see as much as he can of his granddaughter before Prince William and Kate leave London for their Norfolk county home, Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate. The couple are due to leave later today.
The monarch’s visit came as the Duke of Cambridge formally registered the birth of his baby daughter, in a near identical way to the manner in which Prince George’s birth was registered.
As with the royal birth in 2013, The Duke of Cambridge signed the birth register at Kensington Palace witnessed by a Registrar from Westminster Register Office. On the certificate, he gave his wife’s occupation as ‘Princess of the United Kingdom’.
Kate, 33, has rarely described herself as a princess, preferring to use the title Duchess of Cambridge, which was conferred on her by the Queen on her wedding day. But she is also Princess William of Wales, entitling her to be described as ‘Princess of the United Kingdom’.
The 32-year-old duke gave his occupation as ‘Prince of the United Kingdom’ rather than a helicopter pilot.
Normally, parents have to attend a register office within 42 days of a child being born. But in the case of Princess Charlotte, the deputy registrar of Westminster, Alison Cathcart, travelled to Kensington Palace.
The same registrar also visited the palace after George’s birth. She has presided over several celebrity marriages including those of Sylvester Stallone, Joan Collins, Paul McCartney, Barbara Windsor and David Walliams.
