Celebrating Princess Charlotte's Birthday in Style
Image of Princess Charlotte shared by Prince William and Kate Middleton to celebrate her ten years
In an unprecedented move, the Prince and Princess of Wales have released a stunning new portrait of their daughter, Princess Charlotte, to mark her 10th birthday. The photo, snapped on an iPhone by none other than Kate Middleton herself during a visit to Cumbria, captures Charlotte with a beaming smile, donning distinctive camouflage hiking gear, and surrounded by the wild beauty of the Cumbrian countryside [1][3].
Following the tradition established by Kate, the dedicated amateur photographer, this photograph adds to the family's collection of significant personal snaps to celebrate their children's milestones [2][3].
The image was unveiled on the royal family's social media platforms, accompanied by the simple yet heartfelt caption: "Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte" [2]. Prince Louis, Charlotte's younger brother, also recently had his image shared on social media to celebrate his seventh birthday [2].
As the third in line to the throne, Princess Charlotte attends the co-educational private Lambrook School near Ascot in Berkshire, and her hobbies include dancing, with a particular fondness for ballet and tap [3].
Charlotte, named after her late grandmother, Princess Diana, and Queen Elizabeth II, is the first female royal to benefit from the Succession to the Crown Act (2013), securing her position ahead of her younger brothers [3].
This special release coincides with a busy season for the royal family, as Charlotte's birthday comes alongside a series of other significant milestones, including those of her brother Prince Louis and cousin Prince Archie [3].
