Charlotte has formed a strong bond with Mika and Zara Tindall's daughter Mia
Princess Charlotte has reportedly developed a strong bond with Mia Tindall, as the two young royals navigated a difficult year marked by Princess Kate’s battle with cancer.
The nine-year-old princess found comfort and support in Mia, who apparently became a source of joy and distraction during the hardest months of 2024.
While Kate is now in remission, royal insiders have claimed the girls’ relationship has blossomed into a lifelong friendship. How sweet!
Princess Charlotte builds ‘friendship for life’ with Mia Tindall
According to a royal insider who spoke to Woman’s Day magazine: “What happened to Charlotte’s mum shocked everyone, but energetic Mia was the perfect distraction for the princess throughout those scary months of 2024.”
The source added that Princess Charlotte has “always been in awe” of Mia’s fun-loving personality.
The insider said the cousins initially had a playful rivalry, with both girls engaging in “my dad’s the best” banter. However, as they spent more time together, their bond reportedly grew stronger.
“Kate and Zara [Tindall] are happy to report their girls have formed a friendship for life,” the source shared.
Energetic Mia was the perfect distraction for the princess.
The cousins have attended several high-profile royal occasions together. Charlotte and Mia’s close bond has become evident to royal watchers.
Last year, they shared a special moment during the royal family’s Christmas Day walk in Sandringham when Mia, 11, rushed over to join Charlotte.
The pair laughed and chatted as they walked side by side, a touching sight for royal fans.
Their growing friendship has not gone unnoticed on social media, with fans thrilled to see the young royals developing such a close relationship.
“Love that Charlotte and Mia seem to be so close – cousins are just the best!” One royal fan commented.
Another wrote: “They are related but also seem like great friends.”
Charlotte and Mia’s friendship has been a ‘bright spot’
The bond between Charlotte and Mia mirrors the close friendship shared by their mothers, Princess Kate and Zara Tindall.
Kate and Zara have always shared a strong connection despite their different paths – Kate as a future queen and Zara as a former Olympian and equestrian champion.
“Love their bond, just like their mums and dads growing up together as kids,” a royal fan noted.
The royal family faced a challenging 2024, with both King Charles and Princess Kate battling cancer.
While the world watched anxiously for updates on their health, inside the family, Charlotte and Mia’s growing friendship provided a source of comfort.
Mia, the eldest daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall, is known for her outgoing and fun-loving nature.
Alongside her younger siblings, Lena and Lucas, Mia has been raised in a more relaxed royal environment. This may have provided a welcome escape for Charlotte.
Meanwhile, Charlotte, as the middle child of Prince William and Princess Kate, sits between Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, six. As she continues to grow into her royal role, sources say having a strong friendship with Mia will be invaluable.
Royal Insider has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
