It captures her spending time with the family's dog Otto, arranging white rocks on the sand to spell out a message, patting the family's dogs Orla and Otto, bowling a cricket ball, and playing cricket on the beach. The video was accompanied by gentle guitar music and attracted hundreds of well-wishers in the comments section. The video ends with Princess Charlotte playing cricket on the beach.

Princess Charlotte is passionate about dancing, including ballet and tap.
