North West has the kind of celebrity tot life that no one else has. First and foremost, she hasn’t even started Kindergarten, yet she’s already a household name. She’s just as recognizable and has just as much star power as her famous parents, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. And while a lot of people think that this might not be very fair, living the paparazzi life is the only life North West knows. Born into the Kardashian family, there was no way that she would have a normal toddler life. At least, not with her famous parents.

But does that mean North West is living a life in a secluded Hollywood bubble? Not necessarily. While there are plenty of pros and cons to being a huge name in the entertainment world, her parents have also made sure that she lives a life that is well-adjusted and that all of her basic needs are always there for her. She might have a wardrobe full of designer clothes, but she also gets to have play dates, enjoy time with her cousins and spend all of her weekends with her family. Here are 20 facts about Kim Kardashian’s “mini me” that you probably didn’t know.

25 She Was Born Right Before Prince George

North West was born on June 15, 2013, the first child of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. What makes her birthday so interesting is that she was born a month before the future King of England, Prince George. A lot of people assumed that Kim Kardashian purposely got pregnant during the same time as Kate Middleton, mostly because she feels as though the Kardashians are the royalty of America. Could she be right? No one knows for sure, but it will be interesting if North and George ever cross paths later on in their lives. At least, that’s what Kim is hoping for.

24 Kim Followed Kate Middleton’s Pregnancy

Now, Kim has not really ever confirmed this, but there was much speculation that North West’s mother, Kim Kardashian, wanted to have a parallel pregnancy with the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. After all, Kim has always tried to walk in Kate’s footsteps, and being pregnant at the same time just seemed like an easy way to do it. Soon after Kim gave birth to North, Kate also gave birth to her son, Prince George. And apparently, Kim also took notes of all the fashion and maternity wear choices that Kate made during her pregnancy. After all, Kim does think she’s the Duchess of Hollywood!

23 Her Name Was Controversial

At first, many people couldn’t believe that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian would pick out a name like “North” for their first born child. Some people had actually thought it was a joke, but it turned out that the celebrity couple was dead serious. North’s grandmother said that they chose the name North because it’s the highest point you can reach. And for Kanye and Kim, it’s a name that’s full of love and meaning, even if it does sound like a direction on a compass. But if there is one thing to add, it’s that the Kardashian family likes to call the tot “Nori” for short.

22 She Was A Part Of Her Parents’ Wedding

Even though North West was born in 2013, it took her parents Kim and Kanye one full year to tie the knot themselves. Traditionally, it’s love, marriage, and then the baby carriage but as we all know, that never really works out in Hollywood. Luckily, North got to play a huge part in her parents’ lavish wedding in the Italian countryside. It was an affair to remember. Everyone from the Kardashian family was there, along with the couple’s closest friends and family members. And apparently, North was the star of the show. She was a symbol of two people falling in love and uniting as one.

21 What About North’s Siblings?

As of press time, North also has two younger siblings: her brother, Saint West, and her newborn sister, Chicago West. Kim has admitted in the past that juggling three small children under the age of 5 isn’t always easy, but she somehow makes it work. As a matter of fact, she said that she had struggled to bond with her son Saint just because North was jealous of the attention that her brother was taking away from her. But as many parents know, this is quite normal. We’ve seen this before. That’s why Kim sets time apart just to spend it with North.

20 Her First Red-Carpet Party

When you are born into the Kardashian family, there’s a strong possibility that you will live the rest of your life with all the glitz and glamour that comes with being a huge celebrity in the entertainment world. Well for North West, it’s no different. She made her debut at Caitlyn Jenner’s 4thof July party back in 2003. And since then, she’s been accompanying her mother on all the major red carpet events, or anything that is still within the realms of her bedtime. In other words, there’s no party too big or too small that she hasn’t been to.

19 Kris Jenner’s Role

Apparently, North West is very close to her grandmother, Kris Jenner. That’s because her parents, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, have lived a very long time under Kris’ roof. And while you would think that Kris has a very busy schedule with everything she does in her day-to-day life, she is close to all of her grandchildren. In fact, she often takes them shopping or on special grandma-and-me play dates. She sees her grandchildren – or at least some of them – on a daily basis, too. Say what you want about the Kardashian family, but there’s no denying that they are a very close and tight-knit bunch.

18 She’s Also Close To Her Cousins

North West is also growing up very close to her cousins. In fact, she counts Penelope Disick – Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick’s daughter – as one of her closest friends. And each time they are photographed out and about together, you can tell that they are the best playmates. North might not have many friends outside of her family, but at least she has her cousins that she can rely on. So far it looks like they are growing up together, but in and out of the spotlight. And they are loving each and every moment they have with one another, too.

17 But She’s Not Close To Blue Ivy

While there’s no doubt that Kanye West has tried to make this happen in the past, unfortunately, it just hasn’t worked out. Even though North West and fellow celebrity tot Blue Ivy are very close in age and have a lot of similarities, especially when it comes to their lifestyle, they’ve never had a play date. Some people believe it might be because Blue’s mother Beyonce isn’t very fond of Kim Kardashian. And while no one knows if that is indeed the truth, one thing is for certain: these two young little girls can always make up for lost time later on in their lives. Fingers crossed.

16 The Problem with the Cornrows

A lot of people criticized Kim Kardashian for having cornrows or wearing her hair in braids. But the celebrity says that she does it all to be a good example for her daughter, North. Kim told People Magazine, “My daughter actually loves braids, like this last time I wore [them], she helps me pick out a look and will show me pictures. I just think if it comes from a place of love and you’re using it as cultural inspiration, then I think it is okay. Sometimes I think maybe if you don’t communicate where you got the inspiration from — and I’ve done that in the past — then people might not understand it. But yeah, I think as long as it comes from a place of love and you’re getting inspired, then it is okay.”

15 Being protected from The Internet

If there is anyone who knows just how ugly the internet can be, it’s Kim Kardashian. That’s why she’s trying to protect North away from it. Kim told People Magazine, “What’s crazy is you can be having the best day, you can be posting the best pictures of yourself or whatever makes you happy, have one million positive comments and you’ll see one negative comment and it’ll ruin your day. But honestly, it doesn’t really affect me anymore because I try to look at the positive side of things. I might reevaluate it when the time comes that my kids want phones and want to be on social media, but all in all I’ve tried to look at the positive of it.”

14 She’s Not Spoiled

If there is one thing that Kim Kardashian wants to accomplish as a mother, it’s to make sure that her children don’t grow up spoiled. Sure, they have everything and more than any child can ask for in their childhood, but for Kim, it’s all about moderation. That’s why she doesn’t give her children or her husband Kanye any gifts. Kim told E! News, “I worry about giving my kids too much. We don’t do gifts. They have to really earn it. But we talk about it all the time, about not getting too much and just trying to be as grounded and well-rounded as possible.”

13 Money Matters

With that being said, Kim also wants to make sure that her children – including North West – will understand the value of money, especially as they grow older. She doesn’t want them to take anything in their lives for granted. Kim told E! News, “[I know] what it costs to run my household. It’s hard all the time to stick within a budget, for sure, but I think it’s a good guideline. And I’m the type of personality where I’m like, ‘OK, I really want to buy this, so I have to make this in order to be able to buy that for myself.’ So, I’ll make it happen.”

12 The Value Of Hard Work

Don’t think that North West and her siblings are going to take the easy way out of life. Actually, it’s quite the contrary. Kim has also made it known that she’s a hard worker, and she wants her kids to work what they will have in their lives, too. Kim told E! News, “I always was working. I never asked people for money. That was never really my thing. I always just figured it out.” Now, Kim is unsure if “it will be the same” for her kids. “It’s a different time. I don’t know if I’m going to do that. I’d have to discuss that with Kanye.”

11 North Is Her Mother’s Strength

She might be a tot, but it looks like North is a very important person in her mother’s life. As a matter of fact, she gives Kim the strength to carry on, even when things seem bad in her life. North is always looking out for her mother. Kim told Allure, “She gave me a little plastic treasure box, and she put her little jewels in it — like fake little plastic jewels — and she was like, ‘Mommy, this will keep you safe when you go to Paris.’ To have something really sweet like that is more important to me than all the jewelry.”

10 Kim Wants To Be A Role Model

Kim not only wants to be a good mother for North West, but she also wants to be a good role model for her 5-year-old daughter, too. Kim told Allure, “I mean, I don’t really live by society’s ideal so what I would hope is just that women are equal. Like women in every way—whether it’s equal pay, equal rights, I just feel like women should have the same rights as men. I definitely think that women should just have the rights to what they want to do with their bodies, and I think that’s really frustrating when certain rights are being taken away. I just feel like we’re moving backward when we’ve come so far.”

9 North Has The Smarts

She might not have graduated Kindergarten yet, but according to mom Kim Kardashian, she’s smart enough to be the future President of the United States. At least, that’s what she thinks! Kim told Harper’s Bazaar, “Anyone can run the U.S. better. My daughter [North West] would be better. We’ve worked so hard to get to where we were and to have so many things that we were so proud of in our country, to just literally revert backward is the most frustrating thing. Every single day when you can’t really believe what’s going on, the next day it’s something else even more crazy and tragic.”

8 Kim’s Worried About Her Future

This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but Kim has made it pretty clear that she’s also very concerned about her daughter’s future. And who wouldn’t be? Kim told Harper’s Bazaar, “Life scares me, just thinking of all the things that can go wrong. When you’re a mom you turn into this maniac that just thinks anything and everything can go wrong. [Social media] doesn’t seem like the safest place. I have a pretty thick skin. But I feel bad for anyone that gets hate on social media. There’s so much cyber-bullying and negativity in comments to everyone. I think it’s so wrong. No matter what you do, you’re so judged and criticized on social media. I hope it changes. I hope people stop being so negative.”

7 North Gives Her Mother Motivation

North West might only be a 5-year-old little girl, but she gives her mother the motivation that she needs to get going, every single day. Regardless of how you see this, for Kim, it’s important. Her daughter is her rock. Kim told Harper’s Bazaar, “When you have kids it keeps you motivated. I want to have something on my own. I feel good when I get up and go to work and am busy all day. That makes me happy. If I just, like, retire, I would definitely be more of a stay at home mom, but I want my kids to have a really strong work ethic and see how motivated mom and dad really are.”

6 What’s Next For North West

But if there is one thing that we know, it’s that North’s name will always make headlines. She is, after all, the most famous toddler in the world. Her style will always create a buzz wherever she goes. She’s a Kardashian by blood. Watch this space. We have a feeling that there is so much more to come from North West. There’s even a chance that she might surpass her mother in both celebrity and wealth one day!
