Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales have once again delighted royal fans by sharing a brand new portrait of Princess Charlotte to mark her 11th birthday on Saturday.
The charming image captures the young princess looking noticeably more grown-up as she poses outdoors among a field of daisies in scenic Cornwall.
Beaming for the camera, Charlotte appears effortlessly stylish, wearing a striped red-and-black knitted jumper layered over a blue collared shirt, paired with dark jeans. Her long brunette hair falls neatly past her shoulders, adding to the relaxed, natural feel of the photo.
Continuing a much-loved family tradition, the picture was taken by Matt Porteous during the Easter period. It was shared alongside the caption: “Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!” 🎉
Royal fans were quick to notice the strong family resemblance in the new photo, with many commenting on how much Princess Charlotte looks like her father, Prince William.
The young princess is expected to mark her special day in private, celebrating with her parents, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, along with her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, who recently turned eight.
