Will Charlotte and Lilibet ever become besties?

We can’t help but wonder if Lilibet and Charlotte will eventually grow to envy each other’s lifestyles. After all, they’re both kids of royalty, but they have entirely different lifestyles. Lilibet gets to enjoy a relatively normal childhood; she gets to keep her privacy, and she’s way too young to understand her connection to the royal family right now. But will she wish she attended palace garden parties and spent summers at Balmoral once she grows up a bit? Will she wish she could spend her days exploring royal palaces and getting etiquette lessons and learning how to ride a horse? 

Now, when it comes to Princess Charlotte, will she long for freedom from the public eye and the privacy that her cousin enjoys in the US? Lilibet and Archie get to go celebrate their birthdays at Disneyland, wear overpriced Mickey ears, and ride the rollercoasters. If Princess Charlotte were to attempt that, it would be a logistical nightmare, with lots of security and most likely having to close sections of Disneyland to the public. So you know, a nearly impossible feat. On top of that, Princess Charlotte is almost a teenager, soon she might start fretting about hormonal changes and pimples, all while every tabloid in the world is looking to snap a photo. 

The saddest part of all this is that Charlotte has a very friendly relationship with all of her royal cousins, but the ones that she’s supposed to be closest with (Lili and Archie) are literal strangers to her. Not only do they live thousands of miles across the ocean from her, but the icy relationship between their parents doesn’t help either. We can only hope that once these royal kids grow up, they might be interested in connecting and catching up.
