Prince William and Kate Middleton were at the Commonwealth Games today, and to much surprise, were joined by their daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Charlotte was at the Games to watch the swimming, and royal fans were delighted – not least with all the faces she was pulling!
She certainly gave little brother Prince Louis a run for his money with her animated antics!

The little princess wore a black and white striped dress and had her hair in pigtails.
The princess was very animated while watching the swimming today, pulling a number of funny faces during the races.
Charlotte was snapped sticking her tongue out, grimacing, and pouting at different points throughout the races, emulating her younger brother’s performance at the Jubilee in June.
At one point, the seven-year-old turned and gave her father a cheeky thumbs up too, drawing a laugh from her parents.
She was also seen engrossed in what appeared to be a programme for the day and shaking hands with officials at the Games.
And at one point she seemed a little disheartened, pulling a glum face and getting some soothing words from her doting dad.
Royal fans react to Prince William, Kate, and Charlotte
Many a royal fan excitedly took to Twitter to discuss Charlotte’s surprise appearance today.
“Lovely to see Charlotte,” one fan wrote.
“She is just super adorable. Wish Prince Louis came also,” another then said.
