Charlie became a household name when he bit his brother’s finger:

The video was unintentionally shared to the public by their dad, Howard Davies-Carr who only intended the Youtube upload to be for family members. Mom Shelley stated that their earnings from the video allowed them to have new family members: Charlie and Harry now have two younger brothers. The royalties also paid for their private education. Besides the guest appearances and advertisements that the video brought, they live otherwise quiet lives.

The family did go to Disneyland, and it was their second time to surprise their older daughter Lily, who had a very overwhelming and tearful response.

It has been about three years since the video was posted, and now, Chloe enjoys social media fame with her sister. They even went to Google in Brazil recently, where Chloe was thrilled to see her face everywhere for a campaign:
