Princess Charlotte has seemingly channelled her mischievous little brother Prince Louis during a visit to the Commonwealth Games.

The seven-year-old joined parents Prince William and Kate Middleton along with the Wessexes – Prince Edward, Sophie, Countess of Wessex and their two children – at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre in Birmingham, UK.

The group took in a session of swimming.

It marks Charlotte's second appearance in a week; on Sunday, the princess featured in a video sent to the Lionesses football team, wishing them good luck ahead of their Euro 2022 win on Sunday.

But it seems Charlotte has a lot in common with her younger brother Louis, whose antics at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June delighted fans.

Louis was seen pulling various faces during the event, ranging from sticking out his tongue to covering his ears during the Trooping the Colour royal flypast.

Now Charlotte has been seen pulling faces at a number of points during the Games, and was also spotted tugging on her pigtails.

It's not just her appearance that proved popular at the Games; the designer of the dress she was wearing said the striped stretch frock sold out within 12 hours.

According to Hello! Magazine, brand Rachel Riley sold six months' worth of the cotton dress - which retails for NZ$60 in the UK - in just three days.
