Charlotte, who joined the Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, as well as her parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and her brothers George and Louis on the balcony after the People's Parade, revealed how much like her mum she really is.

Body Language expert Judi James told the that her gesture revealed more than might meet the eye.

She explained: "When Beatrice was sobbing uncontrollably during Prince Philip ’s memorial it was Charlotte who threw her a concerned glance, prompting Beatrice to smile to show she was ok.

"Here it was Charlotte throwing a similar look of caring concern to her great grandmother as the family sang the National Anthem.

"She seems to have inherited the trait from Kate , who stroked Louis constantly to keep him happy and who bent down to his height to talk to him once he had taken his place in the line-up."

Judi added that seeing the Cambridge's in more relaxed settings, like the BBC's Party at the Palace concert, as well as formally standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace was interesting.

She said: "William towered over the group but his smile of pride has been growing steadily throughout this weekend.

";His and Kate’s hard work with their children has clearly paid off.

"Not only have they been happy and playful with the Tindalls but they have also, in a very natural and spontaneous way, produced several PDAs to signal unity and strong bonding across the generations."

The touching moment with the Queen was one of many cute moments we've seen from Charlotte recently, who playfully kept her brother's in line more than once.
