Who helps look after Princess Charlotte and Prince George? Although Prince William and Kate Middleton are hands-on parents, the busy royals often need a little help with Charlotte and George. They rely on nanny Maria Borrallo, who trained at the prestigious Norland College and lives with the Cambridges at Anmer Hall. They can also turn to Kate's parents - particularly her mother Carole Middleton, who is an expert at planning kid parties. The doting granny has introduced the kids to crafts and baking. "All children love to bake," she has previously said. Photo: Chris Jackson/Getty Images

Could Charlotte reign one day? Yes. Even though Charlotte's reign is unlikley, because she is fourth in line to the throne, behind her grandfather Prince Charles, father Prince William and brother George. With that being said, her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, pictured here, wasn't expected to rule either. Photo: The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images

What is certain is that Charlotte will retain her position even if William and Kate have another son, as the rules of succession favoring males were changed before George's birth. By comparison, Princess Anne dropped from second in line to third after her younger brother Prince Andrew was born in 1960. Photo: HRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

What is her favorite activity Playing with balloons! At a children's party for military families in Victoria, B.C., Charlotte made a beeline for the balloon arch, hugging it with delight. "Are we going to go pop?" William asked playfully as his daughter tried to lift the arch off the ground. "Pop! Pop!" said Charlotte, whose happiness only increased when she received a teddy bear and flower sculptures from a balloon-maker. "We try making balloons at home, but it doesn't work," William revealed at the time. Photo: Pool/Sam Hussein/WireImage
