#WINDSOR CASTLE, SATURDAY AFTERNOON# Sunlight pours through the tall windows of Princess Charlotte's bedroom, painting bright bars on the plush carpet. At nine years old, she traces a restless path across the room, the very picture of royal ennui. Distant, carefree laughter from the garden carries on the breeze—her brothers, George and Louis, at play. Elsewhere in the private apartments, the soft murmur of her parents, William and Catherine, sifting through albums of memories, only deepens the quiet. The entire afternoon feels like a held breath, waiting for her to decide what comes next.
