But one woman seemed to just want a hug from Princess Charlotte. After spotting the woman, Charlotte walked over to a security guard and asked them to hold her gifts.

She seemingly said: “Could you hold this please? Thank you.”

The security guard then took the gifts from Charlotte, and she walked over to the woman and gave her a hug. You can see the sweet moment here.

Adorable, right?!
