Queen Elizabeth II was a proud grandmother and great-grandmother, and she often spoke affectionately about her great-grandchildren, including the Prince and Princess of Wales's three children, Prince George , Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis .

Her Late Majesty shared an insight into the bond between George and Charlotte during a church service in Sandringham in January 2018.

Speaking to Ellen Clay at the time, who watched her daughter Emily, then ten, receive a Bible from the monarch, she asked her if she "looked after" her little sister, to which Ellen responded that it was the "other way around".

The late Queen replied: "It's like that with Charlotte and George."
