Charlotte began competing in equestrian sports as a teenager

Some royals are no stranger to the runway and as well as sitting in the coveted front-row, some have even showed off their modelling prowess.

Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin, Lady Amelia Windsor, turned heads at the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week on Monday. The 26-year-old made her catwalk debut for Dolce & Gabbana in 2017.

Prince Nikolai of Denmark, 22, also appeared on the runway as Danish outerwear brand, Rains, made its debut at Paris Men's Fashion Week.
