Princess Charlotte shared a heartwarming laugh with her mum, Princess Kate, as the pair sang together at the coronation on Saturday. During the sweet moment the pair, who were twinning in matching gowns and headpieces, caught each other's eye and smiled widely before returning to their songbooks. 

The eight-year-old Princess, Prince William and Kate's only daughter, stood in-between her parents for the service after her little brother, Prince Louis, left the service early due to his young age during the lengthy service while her older brother, Prince George, served as a page boy for the event. See the sweet mother and daughter moment here...

Little Charlotte looked adorable for the occasion, and was dressed in an Alexander McQueen dress and cape in ivory silk crepe with ivory satin stitch. She also wore a Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen Headpiece silver bullion. 

During the service, the young royal kept a close watch over Louis, even holding his hand while entering Westminster Abbey. Royal watchers loved the adorable sibling moment. One person wrote: "Aaawww so beautiful," while another added: "Gorgeous. How proud their grandma Diana would be."

Prince Louis wore an outfit made by Dege and Skinner which consists of a Hainsworth Garter Blue Doeskin Tunic with specially designed lace work embellishment to the collar, cuffs, and fronts.  The leg garment is black complete with Garter Blue stripe. 

Where is Prince George? 

Prince George, who has a major role as one of his grandfather's pages of honour. Prince George looked the part as he wore a knee-length scarlet coat with gold trimmings. He was joined for the service by Camilla's grandsons, Louis, Frederick and Gus.
