While standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony with the rest of her relatives, the three-year-old accidentally slipped, and some viewers say she hit her head on the railing. When she became visibly upset, mum Kate Middleton quickly stepped in to comfort her little girl.

Falling aside, the royal tot seemed to enjoy the rest of the occasion, which she attended with her four-year-old brother, Prince George. Their dad, Prince William, was also present in military garb. Charlotte was all dressed up in a blue floral dress, which matched her mom's pale blue ensemble by Alexander McQueen.

She bonded with her cousin Savannah Philips, who also sported florals:
