Princess Charlotte Inherited a Quirky Talent From Her Great-Grandmother Queen Elizabeth

According to royal author Phil Dampier (who wrote Diana: I'm Going to be Me—The People's Princess Revealed in Her Own Words), Princess Charlotte inherited a quirky ability from her great-grandmother: impersonations. 

“I’m told Charlotte has also inherited from the late queen a brilliant ability to mimic prominent figures,” Dampier told Hello! magazine. “That should come in handy at Christmas when the royals gather in the evening at Sandringham to play charades.”

Princess Charlotte’s spot-on impersonations were likely passed down from Queen Elizabeth, who apparently had a knack for impersonating famous people. “Queen Elizabeth used to have her family in stitches with her impersonations of politicians, including U.S. presidents and former Russian leader Boris Yeltsin,” Dampier added.

This special talent was confirmed by another royal author, Gyles Brandreth (who wrote Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait). During an episode of A Right Royal Podcast, the writer revealed that Queen Elizabeth “could do regional accents from all over the country.”

I’d do anything to be a fly on the wall during the royal family’s game of charades.
