"Charlotte seems to be very full of admiration for her mother, which I think is a lovely thing, too," Seward told Hello.
The young royal was seen taking care of the smallest details during her mother's return, even reaching above her own head and over to her mother's side to wipe down the fogged up glass of the carriage they were riding during Trooping the Colour to ensure her mother was able to wave to fans properly.
A short clip of the moment has been circulating on social media, with many praising the young royal, calling the moment "heartwarming."

"Kate and Charlotte are great friends and I think to Kate, their bond is very precious. The mother-daughter relationship is obviously particularly important to Kate because she has such a close relationship with her own mother, Carole Middleton," Seward said.
The 42-year-old had been relying heavily on her mother during her recovery, having been spotted for the first time in months being driven by Middleton as they dropped the Wales children off at school.
Seward adds that Catherine is trying to emulate the late Queen Elizabeth II in trying to build a "stable family" dynamic with her close family of five.
