Princess Charlotte given very special gift and Prince Louis has the best reaction

Princess Charlotte was given a very special present on a visit to the Strictly Come Dancing studios but it left Prince Louis rather jealous.

Shirley Ballas explained the story of Princess Kate's secret visit to the set in December last year to the Sun saying the royal children were well-behaved and enthusiastic.

The head judge explained that Princess Charlotte had been gifted a small crown, while the pair took turns in the recognisable judges' chairs.

Ballas explained that she had also gifted Louis a box of sweets but that he had his eye on a different present.

She told the paper: "They are beautiful, when they visited we had these crowns on set, so I thought it would be a nice idea to give the little girl a crown and I got him a nice box of sweets.

"Then he went, 'I want one of those,' and pointed at the crown. So we had to go and find him a little crown.

"They're beautifully polite children. They had an absolute ball. We have photos, but I didn't want to post them. I think it's more private for her. I was just glad she was able to come in and have a great day. They all watch Strictly."

During their time on set Kate, 42, and her two children also met with beloved hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, in addition to some of the show's professional dancers such as Dianne Buswell and Nadiya Bychkova.

The trio also received a tour of the costume department which was greatly received.

It is no secret that key members of the royal family are avid fans of the hit BBC ballroom show. Back in 2019, Prince William revealed that his wife Kate and his mother-in-law Carole Middleton are huge fans.

Speaking to judge Shirley and host Claudia at a charity gala, the Prince of Wales explained: "I have watched the show [Strictly] a couple of times. Catherine is a huge fan and my mother-in-law loves it."
