Princess Charlotte has captured the internet’s heart once again — this time for her growing friendship with cousin Mia Tindall. The two young royals, just a year apart in age, have been spotted side by side at Christmas services, Platinum Jubilee events, and other royal gatherings. Now, a fan-made TikTok montage of their sweetest moments has gone viral, earning more than 600,000 views and nearly 30,000 likes.
In the clips, Charlotte, who turns 10 this May, and Mia, 11, are seen walking hand in hand to church at Sandringham, chatting and laughing as if no one else were around. They’ve also been spotted sharing quiet moments together at the Platinum Pageant during Queen Elizabeth II’s Jubilee celebrations, where Mia sat directly behind Charlotte, almost like her silent cheerleader.
Fans couldn’t help but gush over the bond. One commented, “We always remember and cherish our cousins… lifetime friendship.” Another noted, “She’s Charlotte’s anchor to the real world, the one to keep her grounded.” The sweet exchange quickly fueled praise for Charlotte having someone her age to lean on in the often-intense royal spotlight.
Mia, the daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall — and granddaughter of Princess Anne — has always lived a life connected to royalty but outside the pressure of titles. Princess Anne famously chose not to give her children royal titles, believing it would allow them more freedom. That decision seems to have paved the way for Mia to be the kind of cousin Charlotte can turn to: close enough to understand royal life, but far enough removed from the demands of it.
Royal experts say cousin friendships like this matter deeply. They provide the younger royals with confidants who understand the family’s traditions but aren’t caught in the line of succession or public expectations. For Charlotte, that means having a partner-in-crime who shares her world without the same weight on her shoulders.
Whether it’s walking to church, sitting together at grand pageants, or simply being present for one another, Charlotte and Mia’s connection has become a quiet reminder of the importance of family bonds. For fans, it’s a touching glimpse behind the palace walls — showing that even in royal circles, cousins often make the very best of friends.
