UK Princess Charlotte says 'pop' on Royal Canadian tour

September 30, 2016

One-year-old Princess Charlotte, British Queen Elizabeth's great-granddaughter, has spoken in public for the first time. The little royal came out with 'pop' as her parents and brother played with balloons in Canada.

Britain's Prince William and his wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, are on a weeklong trip to Canada. This is the first time the couple have brought their children, 16-month-old Charlotte and 3-year-old George, on an official visit to the country.

Charlotte also took her first steps in public on Thursday as she and George played at a children's party with their parents.

Charlotte played with colorful balloons and then headed to the zoo for some time with the goats, sheep, rabbits and miniature horses.

George meanwhile sat on his father's knee before joining the party at a bubble-blowing station.

The royals arrived in Canada last Saturday, when George left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hanging on a high-five attempt at the airport.
