Princess Charlotte says 'she's 16,' even though she just turned six, her dad Prince William reveals.

So feisty! Even though Princess Charlotte just turned six on May 2, she believes she's a lot older. 

"If you ask her, she says she's 16. Charlotte says, 'I'm six now, I'll do what I do want.' They grow up very fast," William, 38, said while visiting Babcock Vehicle Engineering this week. 

The company's lead HR business partner Jenna Jackson asked the dad-of-three how his daughter celebrated her birthday.

Before Charlotte's birthday, Kate Middleton and William shared a new photo of their tot via social media.
