And now Duchess Catherine has confirmed her daughter has a deep love of horse riding โ€“ just like her Gan Gan!

The Queen is an avid horse rider and received her first pony at the age of four.

The mother-of-two made the revelations during a meet and greet with Olympic and Paralympic competitors at a Buckingham Palace in London this week.

The 34-year-old was speaking to equestrian triple-gold medallist Natasha Baker about her bubโ€™s favourite new hobby.

โ€œI asked her how the children were and she said Charlotte is really enjoying her riding which is great to hear and I said we may see her here on a line-up in 20 years time,โ€ said Natasha.

She also noted that Charlotte wasnโ€™t the only young royal with a passion, explaining, โ€œ[Prince] George really enjoyed the fencing.โ€

โ€œShe emphasised that Charlotte has this passion about horses, and although she doesnโ€™t echo it, sheโ€™ll do her best to champion and encourage it,โ€ Natasha mused.

Indeed, The Queenโ€™s love of horses stems all the way back to her childhood.
