Princess Charlotte looked so sweet as she beamed at the camera alongside her father, the Prince of Wales, and brothers Prince George and Prince Louis in a photo marking Father's Day last weekend.

The young royal, 10, wore a particularly sentimental item of clothing that went largely unnoticed by royal fans. Almost hidden between Charlotte's khaki jumper and the one worn by her brother, Prince Louis, was a green and navy tartan scarf from her mother's wardrobe.

Kate, who was missing from the photo captured by Josh Shinner, last wore the cashmere check scarf from Kiltane on Christmas Day last year as she stepped out with her husband William and three children for the annual church service on the Sandrigham estate.

Having borrowed the cashmere accessory from her mother, Charlotte looked adorable in a denim skirt as she celebrated her father. "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L," the royal children's social media message read.

Kate and Charlotte were perfect in pink

It is not the first time Charlotte and Kate have coordinated sartorially. In 2017, Kate wore a candy pink Alexander McQueen dress and matching Jane Taylor fascinator while Charlotte wore a ditsy floral dress in the same rosy hues.
