Princess Charlotte’s 10th Birthday Pic Has Royals and Fans Buzzing – She’s a Spitting Image of Dad Prince William!
Kensington Palace has dropped a delightful new snap of Princess Charlotte to celebrate her 10th birthday – and the verdict is unanimous. The young royal looks just like her dad, Prince William.
Chilled Out Birthday Portrait Captured by Princess Kate
The casual portrait was taken by the Princess of Wales herself during a family trip to Cumbria earlier this year. Charlotte beams outdoors in a £37 Jack Pyke ‘Evolution Camo’ jacket, dark jeans, and a backpack, sitting relaxed in the grass with her hair loosely tied back. This fresh, windswept look is a stark contrast to past formal royal photos and has won plenty of praise from fans.
Royal Fans Spot Striking Family Resemblance
Once Kensington Palace shared the photo online, social media erupted with comments highlighting Charlotte’s uncanny likeness to her dad at the same age. Some of the best reactions included:
- “Wow! She is 100% William when he was her age!”
- “Princess Charlotte is the female version of young Prince William.”
- “Happy birthday Princess Charlotte! So much like her dad.”
- “Prince William really said copy and paste.”
Fans even posted side-by-side shots calling her “her dad’s twin.” Others spotted hints of her mum, Catherine, Princess of Wales, and even her late grandmother, Princess Diana, in her features.
Looks and Attitude Fit for Future Royal Duties
Charlotte’s outdoor gear also echoes Prince William’s childhood style, often spotted in khaki at royal events. Experts suggest her confident yet carefree demeanour forecasts a serious royal future – potentially stepping into high-profile roles like succeeding Princess Anne as Princess Royal.
Princess Charlotte’s Milestone Birthday
Born on May 2, 2015, at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, Charlotte is third in line to the throne and made history as the first British princess to outrank a younger brother thanks to updated succession laws.
She currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire with brothers Prince George and Prince Louis. Rumours suggest her parents are eyeing Marlborough College, her mum’s alma mater, for her future education.
This birthday photo release also marks a heartwarming return to tradition, with Princess Kate continuing her beloved hobby of personally photographing her children on their big days alongside her royal responsibilities.
