What Princess Charlotte says about unicorns

If you ask  Princess Charlotte , unicorns do in fact exist. On Friday,  Prince William  conducted his first Instagram Q&A on The Earthshot Prize, during which he was questioned about the mythical creature. “Are unicorns real?” one curious social media user asked the future King.

“Well, I think if you talk to my daughter she’d say they were real,” the Duke of Cambridge answered.

He added, “Obviously it’s a trade secret, so I can’t possibly comment.”

Princess Charlotte is known for her love of the magical creature. During an engagement back in 2019, William said, “My daughter loves unicorns. Loves them. Very cool.”

The revelation came shortly after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s daughter attended her first day of school at Thomas’s Battersea sporting a unicorn keychain on her backpack. Earlier that year, the young Princess was also spotted at a charity polo match carrying a unicorn purse, while playing with a polo mallet.

Princess Charlotte turned six on May 2. A few days after her birthday, William revealed that his little girl says she is older than she actually is. “If you ask her, she says she’s 16,” the Duke of Cambridge shared. “Charlotte’s like I’m six now. I’ll do what I want,” adding, “They grow up very fast.”
