The rare glimpse into the Waleses' private life has delighted viewers - but fans have pointed out one young royal's apparent disdain for some parental PDA

Princess Charlotte's reaction to her parents' public display of affection in Princess Kate's emotional video message yesterday afternoon has left royal fans in stitches.

In the newly-released video, the Prince and Princess of Wales can be seen sharing an intimate moment on a Norfolk beach.


As Prince William leans over to nuzzle Kate's neck, their nine-year-old daughter's face soon contorts into a look of what some fans have dubbed "disdain".

The candid footage, captured last month, shows the family enjoying quality time together, with Princess Charlotte's expression perfectly summing up a child's reaction to some parental PDA.

In her video message, Kate said: "At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present."

She added: "It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK."
