Prince Charlotte showed maturity and elegance when she attended her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth's funeral on Monday morning. It was the first time that the public saw the 7-year-old wearing a black hat, as well as the horseshoe brooch that was given to her by the former monarch.

But other than Princess Charlotte's outfit and demeanor, eagle-eyed royal fans also noticed how she once again took charge of her older brother, Prince George.
A video of Prince William and Kate Middleton's only daughter showed her reminding Prince George that he was supposed to bow in front of their Gan-Gan's coffin. The 9-year-old was more than welcoming of his younger sister's reminder and even acknowledged it with a nod of his head.

This isn't the first time that Princess Charlotte showed that she could one day become one of the most reliable members of the royal family. In June, she also reminded Prince George not to put his hands on the ledge while at the queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Since Princess Charlotte got her love for horseracing from his great-grandmother, it's safe to say that she will greatly miss Queen Elizabeth. In fact, Princess Charlotte struggled to hold back her tears while saying goodbye to the former monarch, so Middleton had to console her.
According to Page Six, Princess Charlotte already embodied Queen Elizabeth's commitment to upholding royal protocols. And she will definitely be a wonderful support system for Prince George, who is currently second in line to the throne.
Prince Charlotte Will Certainly Support Prince George In His Role As King
Royal expert Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight that the interactions between Prince William and Middleton's two oldest children are already a reflection of what is to come.
"George is now second in line to the throne and the significance of having Charlotte was -- and this is the spare we've always had, an heir and a spare. It dates back centuries ago when royals would die in childbirth. You needed that security, but actually, you look back and you see the queen was supported by Princess Margaret, her sister; Charles was supported by the Princess Royal Princess Anne; William was supported up until recently by Harry so that notion of the heir and the spare is something that we're now seeing continued in Charlotte and George and it's rather lovely," she said.
