Princess Charlotte recently celebrated her 10th birthday, and to commemorate the occasion, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a heartwarming new photo of their daughter, taken by Kate Middleton during a family visit to Cumbria earlier this year. The image captures Charlotte sitting against a backdrop of picturesque hills, wearing a camo jacket and a rucksack as she flashes a smile. The photo was accompanied by birthday wishes and credited to Kate as the photographer, garnering an outpouring of well-wishes from royal fans.
The striking similarity between Princess Charlotte and her father, Prince William, was not lost on fans, as many took to social media to point out the resemblance. Some even humorously noted that “Catherine’s genetics didn’t stand a chance” against Charlotte’s striking resemblance to her father. The post quickly gained traction, with fans expressing their excitement to watch the princess grow older and continue to bear a resemblance to her father.
Born on May 2, 2015, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana is the second child and only daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Her full name pays tribute to her great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her paternal grandmother, Princess Diana. Holding the third position in the line of succession to the British throne, she has made history as the first princess not to be superseded by a younger brother, thanks to the Succession to the Crown Act 2013.
