Prince Albert ’s niece is a skilled horsewoman. Back in 2013, Charlotte told Harper’s Bazaar that horses have had “an important role in my life since childhood.” She shared, “They gave me the energy to move forward, the ability to fight, giving me a rare confidence and invaluable strength. They taught me great humility too.”
Princess Caroline ’s daughter also said that “competing in show jumping is a school of life.” Charlotte added, “And it’s one of the few Olympic sports where men and women are equal. Being a great horseman does not rely on physical strength but more on the mind and sensibility.”
