A Recap of the British Royal Family Events 🌟👑

As Princess Mathilda grows up, we are getting to witness some truly remarkable moments in the British royal family. Now that she is 8 years old, she's in primary school with her siblings, enjoying the everyday joys of childhood. 📚✨

While there are countless significant events happening within the royal family, there are certain moments that Mathilda is still too young to attend. For example, state visits or complex royal duties, which she may not fully grasp just yet. Instead, on weekends, she loves spending quality time with her nannies and maternal grandparents 👵👴, with whom she shares a very special bond. 💖

As Mathilda grows older, she will no doubt be a part of more of these grand occasions, but for now, we focus on the little moments that make her childhood so unique and full of love. If you'd like, I can even write a special chapter on Mathilda's weekends with her family! 📖💕

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for following along with us on this beautiful royal journey! 👑✨
