Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte spotted on Elizabeth line

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 12:00 · Archive

The Princess of Wales and her daughter travelled on London's Elizabeth line on Saturday for a day out in central London.

The Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte were reportedly spotted travelling on London's Elizabeth line on Saturday, October 10. The pair were accompanied by plainclothes Royalty and Specialist Protection officers and boarded in west London before getting off at Tottenham Court Road station, which provides access to Oxford Street, Soho, the British Museum, and the West End. Footage of the sighting was shared on social media.

Passengers described the encounter as 'surreal'. According to reports from The Sun and Hello! magazine, the pair travelled casually dressed and were seen without attracting significant attention during their journey into central London. One passenger noted that Kate held Charlotte's hand as they prepared to leave the train.

The outing was a private weekend trip rather than an official royal engagement. MyLondon reports that Princess Kate has long prioritised giving her children everyday experiences away from palace formality. The Elizabeth line, which opened in 2022, is regarded as one of London's most efficient rail services. Some commentators expressed scepticism about the outing on social media, with one Reddit user describing it as 'a stunt to show they can be like normal people'.
