Like any teenage girl, Charlotte says she would like
clothes, jewelry and shoes for Christmas. However, she is
very down to earth and, despite her multi-million pound
fortune, has simple tastes. 'I'm a fan of High Street stores
like Morgan, Topshop and H&M, but I also pick up loads
of clothes when I'm traveling,' she says. 'If I'm buying
clothes, then I'll go to Topshop, but if someone else is
paying, than I prefer DKNY.
You're
really an amazing success story. Is it true that you shot to
fame after singing Pie Jesu during a phone-in for talented
children on This Morning?
Yes.
When I was ten, I sang live on air and was later asked to
perform at the Royal Albert Hall. But what got me noticed
was when I sang on Jonathan Ross's The Big, Big Talent
Show, through which I got a record deal. I've never been
nervous about singing in public as I was just eight years
old when I started singing solo at St. Mary's Church Hall in
Cardiff. The only time I felt a bit worried was when I sang
for the Pope.
You
have visited more parts of the world than many of us will
ever see, but you seem to have a great affinity with Wales.
Every
Welsh person has a huge amount of national pride, just
because it has been bred into us through the generations.
I've traveled to some amazing places, but I love coming
home, although I think it rains too much!
Despite
living a jet-set lifestyle, there must have been times when
you're alone in your hotel room in a foreign country,
wishing you were having fun with your school friends back in
Cardiff?
I'm
always working, plus, I have three hours of schooling a day,
so I don't really have any time to miss home. Even when I'm
going to sleep I don't really think about things, because
I'm so tired.
But
you must occasionally feel lonely and isolated?
Sometimes,
but not often, because I just call my friends and have a
chat with them about the latest gossip, which gives me
normality. When I return home, I love to find out about
everything that's been going on, but my mobile keeps me
updated if I'm abroad.
