Much like Prince George, Princess Charlotte has been joining her parents and her grandfather at more public events – offering us the chance to see her interact with crowds.
Something that has been noted time and again is how Charlotte appears to be far more confident than her more reserved elder brother.
As well as this, comparisons have inevitably been drawn between the Wales siblings and the King's relationship with his sister, the Princess Royal.
King Charles and Princess Anne have maintained a steadfast bond for their entire lives – with a royal expert telling OK! that the Princess has acted as her elder brother's "protector".
Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively told OK! that "Charles and Anne were very close as children, and that relationship has remained strong.
"They were both so young when their mother very suddenly became Queen and took on all the responsibilities that the job entailed.
"So they were thrown together, under the watch of their nannies and grandparents, during their parents’ long absences from home.
"Anne was always the tougher and more outgoing of the two and, although she has said that she fully accepted her status as second born from an early age, she certainly didn’t hesitate to boss her brother about, while also acting as his protector."
Jennie adds that the sibling's close relationship appears to be similar between Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
She says, "George and Charlotte are enjoying a much more normal upbringing with hands-on parenting from both William and Catherine — and they also have time to get used to the idea that their parents will one day be King and Queen.
"I’m sure in years to come George will be hugely grateful for his sister’s support, she looks as if she is more than ready to help out both her brothers when needed.
"And because the age gap between all three of the Wales children is nothing like the ten year difference between Charles/Anne and Andrew/Edward, they will help one another along as the years go by."
The similarities between the two sets of Royal siblings has not gone unnoticed by royal fans on social media as one fan previously wrote: "Princess Charlotte and Prince George are definitely the King Charles and Princess Anne of their generation.
Another added: "Charlotte seems to have Anne's moxey as well and even at the age of 8, I am sure she doesn't suffer fools."
A third fan agreed: "Like Anne, Charlotte appears to be more feisty & strong-willed. George appears more thoughtful & contemplative like Charles."
