Princess Charlotte's iconic royal moments went viral on social media, including appearances at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding, Princess Kate's carol concert and the coronation.
The nine-year-old royal has been the star of the show on many major royal occasions, despite still being in the U.K. equivalent of elementary school.
Some of her biggest moments have been honored in a clip that has taken off on TikTok after it was liked more than 20k times and viewed 127k times. It was posted with the message: "Princess Charlotte is an icon."
Among the appearances in the footage was Charlotte's star turn as a bridesmaid at Meghan and Harry's royal wedding at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, in May 2018.
There was also a clip of Charlotte at King Charles III's coronation, Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, the Platinum Jubilee and watching the tennis at Wimbledon, among other appearances.
The video contains the claim that Princess Charlotte is the richest child in the world, which has been reported by some media outlets, but should be taken with a substantial pinch of salt.
Experts at Brand Finance calculated Princess Kate's value to the U.K. economy, based on how her fashion choices can cause clothing lines to sell out. Toy company Outdoor Toys appears to have used this data to estimate the value Charlotte might add to the economy in future and thereby gave her an estimated net worth of $5 billion.
Charlotte's actual wealth is not known and therefore she can't plausibly be described as the richest child in the world.
She will also not be able to profit from her potential value as a fashion icon if she becomes a working royal in the mould of her parents, who do not earn money in the private sector.
An on-screen caption also suggested "the young princess made history" by "becoming the first female heir to the throne to supersede her younger sibling in the line of succession."
Under the old rules of primogeniture female heirs would be passed over in preference for younger male siblings.
Charlotte is first female "spare" with a younger brother. Her aunt, Princess Anne, is below both her younger brothers, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, in the line of succession.
Not so for Charlotte, who is above Prince Louis. She does, however, remain below Prince George, her elder brother.
The clip ends with the caption: "Since she was born, Charlotte was an absolute fashion icon. Any dress or outfit the little princess would wear would immediately become high fashion."
