Kate Middleton Captures Princess Charlotte’s Adorable 10th Birthday Portrait

by

Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s little girl is all grown up.

On May 2nd, when Princess Charlotte, the lone offspring of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, celebrated her 10th birthday, it was customary for the royal family to reveal a portrait of the young celebrant to mark this significant occasion.

This year, it was Kate who took on the role as the artist, capturing Charlotte’s radiant smile stretching from ear to ear, as she struck a pose on a verdant hill covered in grass.

On their combined Instagram page, William (age 42) and Kate (also 43) posted a lovely portrait, with the accompanying message: “Wishing Princess Charlotte a joyous 10th birthday!

A week from now marks a significant event, following the couple’s celebration of their youngest son, Prince Louis, turning seven. On this special day, they were gifted a portrait by Josh Sinner that captures Louis. The young prince is seen wearing dark jeans, a plaid button-down shirt, and a dark green sweater, all while showcasing his toothless grin from atop a stone wall in front of a beautiful garden filled with purple flowers.

As for Prince George? His birthday portrait won’t be revealed until July 22, when he turns 12. 

However, it was Kate who took credit for the significant photo from last year as well. This mother of three, who self-identifies as an “amateur” photographer, captured a striking black-and-white image of George wearing a dark suit and white shirt to celebrate the event.

Today marks Prince George’s 11th birthday, and they expressed their warm wishes on Instagram. In the photo caption, they acknowledged that it was taken by The Princess of Wales, dated 2024.

It appears that Kate’s affection for photography has been inherited by her children, as evidenced by a photograph taken by Louis in April which was employed by the royal family to celebrate World Cancer Day.

In 2024, Kate, who had been diagnosed with cancer, learned she was in remission in January. A lovely snapshot captured her beaming, standing balance-wise atop a downed tree trunk, her arms spread wide.

She captioned the photo, “Don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease.”

On January 22, Prince Harry, also known as the Duke of Sussex, came to a settlement with News Group Newspapers, the publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World. This settlement was reached after he filed a lawsuit against them in 2019 for alleged illegal activities carried out by their journalists and private investigators, who were said to have gathered information about the royal family in an unlawful manner.

The agreement stipulated that the company would pay a significant amount in compensation, also requiring them to offer Harry a sincere and clear apology, as well as publicly admitting the extensive media coverage and invasive nature of their reporting into his private life, as well as the private life of Princess Diana of Wales.

And it’s alright to feel this way too.

Meghan expressed gratitude for countless years of selfless affection towards her dear Guy. She continued by saying that he had enriched her life in a manner she could hardly express.
