It looks like Princess Charlotte might follow Aunty Zara to the Olympics!

The Duchess of Cambridge has revealed that her youngest child, little Charlotte has already developed a love of horses and riding.

Alongside the Queen, Prince Harry and her husband Prince William, Kate hosted the Olympic and Paralympic heroes at a Buckingham Palace reception and talked about her children’s interests while wearing a stunning poppy-print dress by Alexander McQueen.

The Duchess chatted to Equestrian triple-gold medallist Natasha Baker about 17-month-old Charlotte’s penchant for ponies.

“I asked her how the children were and she said Charlotte is really enjoying her riding which is great to hear and I said we may see her here on a line-up in 20 years time,” said Natasha.

“She emphasised that Charlotte has this passion about horses and although she doesn’t echo it, she’ll do her best to champion and encourage it.”

While Charlotte adores horses, Kate admitted that little George has different hobbies of his own.
