Princess Anne, beloved sister of King Charles, is concentrating on Princess Charlotte's rigorous training.
The Princess Royal wants Prince William and Kate Middleton's only daughter to become the “perfect princess” given her important role in the survival of the monarchy.
A source close to the royal told Australian weekly Woman's Day: “Anne is also inadvertently giving him some juicy gossip about the family by making some of the worst mistakes a royal can make. From her uncle partying in Nazi uniforms to Beatrice's hideous headdress at her parents' wedding.”
They added: “They talk about everything all the time. Women's football, sailing, horses, ballet, fashion, manners… Basically, she's turning Charlotte into the perfect princess and stand-in queen.”
The source later revealed that both Kate and Prince William are happy with Charlotte's progress under Princess Anne's supervision.
They said: “They could not imagine a better role model than Anne, who is renowned for her work ethic and unwavering support for the King.
“She makes no mistakes and at the same time her opinions are not only listened to but respected. Anne was invaluable to Kate during those early years of uncertainty, especially as a commoner.
“She wants Charlotte to receive the same tough, heartfelt love that Anne gave her,” the source added.
