Princess Charlotte turns 11 today, and her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have released a new birthday photo of her to celebrate. In the portrait, Charlotte is seen standing in a field of flowers, smiling at the camera.
For the photo, Charlotte wore jeans and a striped sweater, with her long hair flowing freely and her nails painted blue. The caption on the image reads, “Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!” along with a cake emoji. This photo was taken by Matt Porteous during the family’s Easter break in Cornwall.
Many fans have commented on how much Charlotte resembles her father, Prince William, in the picture, with royal watchers taking to social media to send their birthday wishes to the young princess.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond mentioned that the Cambridge family will surely be marking Charlotte’s special day. She noted that William and Kate have been clear about putting their family first, especially on their children’s birthdays, and that Charlotte will be celebrated with joy.
Jennie Bond also highlighted the positive impact of the Cambridges’ focus on their family, stating that it has transformed the perception of the royal family. She praised William and Kate for prioritizing their children and being present for them, which has led to well-adjusted kids who reflect credit on their dedicated parents.
On Princess Charlotte’s 11th birthday, it’s a fitting time to revisit the official portraits released by the Palace over the years to commemorate her milestones. The series of photos captures Charlotte’s growth and special moments, including a recent portrait taken by Princess Kate for her 10th birthday and various snapshots marking each year of her life.
