We know a budding fashion icon when we see one.

Princess Charlotte flashed a new fabulous accessory in a photo posted by the Irish Guards on Monday.

Whilst the photo was shared in celebration of her brother George’s birthday, it was Charlotte’s poise and unicorn purse that stole the show.

The photo was taken in early July at Prince William and Prince Harry‘s charity polo match, which supported the Irish Guards Appeal.

Besides Princess Charlotte and Prince George, Prince Louis and Prince William also featured in the photo.

The photo also reveals just how much Charlotte has taken after her mother, and we aren’t just talking about her looks or fashion sense.

The little princess seemed to ignore the camera lens, only having eyes for Domhall, the canine mascot of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards.

Kate Middleton also has a deep admiration for the pup, and has been seen giving Domhall a pat on the head each year at the St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Princess Charlotte’s purse had royal fans wondering if the four-year-old was following in her great-grandmother’s footsteps.

Queen Elizabeth has allegedly owned more than 200 Launer handbags in her lifetime. 

“She would feel lost without it,” Phil Dampier, co-author of What’s in the Queen’s Handbag? And Other Royal Secrets, told PEOPLE.

“It’s her most valued possession and a valuable tool. The Queen would never go anywhere without her handbag. The only time she might not have it by her side is when she is in a completely relaxed environment, like up at Balmoral, and she’s out driving or something.”

Charlotte is growing up fast. 

Besides beginning to develop her own sense of style, the princess is set to join her brother George at Thomas’s Battersea school this year.
