The sassy princess was praised by fans for her feisty streak. In the video, Charlotte can be seen pulling her hand out of William’s who puts a tender hand on her head.
He offers her his hand to take again, but the princess resolutely ignores him, walking confidently on her own.
Royal editor for the Mail on Sunday Emily Andrews wrote: “Love the way Charlotte is refusing to hold Daddy’s hand!”
Another said: “I love the glimpse of an independent streak in Charlotte when she drops Daddy’s hand to walk alone, but then later reaches for his hand and then clasps his leg when they stop. She is clearly a Daddy’s girl.”
“How lovely, Charlotte has such confidence, it’s great to see them all out together,” another said.

The little princess was the star of the night, according to body language expert Judi James.
She told Express.co.uk: It is Charlotte in the middle who decides to show her confidence and independence by dropping both Kate and William’s hands and walking slightly ahead with a very determined facial expression.
“William places a hand gently onto her head in a tie-sign to let her know she’s still protected and although Charlotte does partly reach back for his hand the pair miss the moment.
“Charlotte decides to adopt a striding, leg-kicking walk in what looks like an act of bravado to prove she’s still confident enough to go it alone but at the last minute, as their host comes out to greet them, we can see her hand snaking around her dad’s leg to show she really is happier knowing he’s there backing her up.”
