Princess Charlotte’s memorable moment with mascot has fans saying the same thing
Over the weekend, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the recently concluded Commonwealth Games along with their three children. The royal family enjoyed several sporting events during the visit, including track cycling and netball, before taking time to interact with volunteers.
During their meeting with the dedicated staff, Princess Charlotte shared a sweet moment with Finnie, the official mascot of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Based on the mythical national animal of Scotland, the playful unicorn sported a white and blue outfit, with dark pink and purple hair on its head.
As Prince William conversed with the volunteers present, Finnie waved to the 11-year-old royalty before cueing a high five. Princess Charlotte enthusiastically obliged and slammed her palm against the mascot’s hand. Finnie seemed to enjoy the princess’ participation and celebrated her response by jumping cheerfully, as seen in the video posted by Hello Magazine.
The adorable unicorn then extended the high five to the eight-year-old Prince Louis, who followed in his elder sister’s footsteps and reflected the mascot’s energy.
This moment seemed to have generated a response of awe from netizens, with one user writing, “How do [you] not adore this beautiful family, all the blessings for them.” Another fan shared a similar sentiment, stating, “What a lovely family, so polite, so natural, credit to the Royal Family, well done Catherine and William.” Meanwhile, a third Instagram user noted, “Cuteness overload!! Adorable,” followed by a heart-eyed emoji.
