Princess Charlotte telling Prince George “you need to bow” went viral on TikTok as she was praised for being “such a boss.”

The young royal, nine, was seen giving her older brother, who turns 11 this month, some pointed advice on the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, on September 19, 2022.

Charlotte and George were watching the procession at Wellington Arch, on Hyde Park Corner, when the time came to pay their respects to their great-grandmother.

The princess can be seen in footage appearing to say: “George, you need to bow,” as the future king dips his head.

A clip of the moment went viral after it was liked 10,000 times and viewed 108,000 times on TikTok.

The narrator can be heard saying: “Princess Charlotte is such a boss. She instructed her brother to bow.”

One fan wrote: “I love Charlotte now she’s a boss,” while another replied that the princess was “the lady of the house” and a third said: “Love her so much.”

Charlotte and George took the difficult decision to go to the queen’s funeral, experiencing all the emotion of the sombre occasion, even as millions around the world watched their reactions live.

Just days earlier, they were at school when Buckingham Palace announced publicly that the queen’s health had taken a downward turn and she was being monitored by doctors.

Prince William caught a plane up to Balmoral, in Scotland, where Elizabeth passed away at around 3 p.m. on September 8.

Princess Kate stayed behind to collect the children from school, lending some sense of normality and routine during a moment of grief and mourning.

The following day, King Charles III gave his first televised address as the new monarch and announced the new Prince and Princess of Wales titles for William and Kate.

The couple allowed George and Charlotte to attend the state funeral and committal service for the queen, but considered Prince Louis, then aged four, too young.

All three Wales children got to attend King Charles’ Coronation in May 2023, however, when Louis performed one of his many star turns.
