Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are best friends already

STOP IT.

Prince Louis is only 18 days old (he arrived into the world on April 23 FYI) but already, he's very popular with his big sister Charlotte. Although it can be difficult for older siblings when a new arrival joins the family, it seems that Princess Charlotte has taken to her role of big sister like a duck to water.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, taken by The Duchess at Kensington Palace.

According to Us! Weekly, the little girl is mad about her younger brother and won't leave his side. A source told the publication that the two royals have "a great bond". The insider said that Princess Charlotte is just like her older brother, Prince George, and now Charlotte is getting on great with her younger brother, just like George did with her.

"Charlotte is just like him. They have a great bond, and a similar connection is growing between Charlotte and Louis."
