Princess Charlotte of Wales celebrated her 10th birthday on May 2, 2025, when a delightful new photograph was made available, snapped by her mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales. The snapshot, taken when she was with her family visiting Cumbria, shows the young princess, dressed in camouflage jacket and clutching a rucksack, having the character of a bubbly, lively kid. It was released in keeping with royal custom of bringing out family portraits during special times.
Princess Charlotte’s birthday picture was no sooner taken than it went viral on social media, with several fans commenting on the uncanny resemblance she shares with her father, Prince William. This cute piece of celebration was served a further boost when Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, expressed his admiration for the picture on Instagram, serving to fuel further worldwide interest in the British royal family.
Charlotte, born in 2015, is currently third in the line of succession to the throne after her dad and elder brother, Prince George. She shares her full names, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, two significant names Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana as her great-great-grandma and late granny respectively. Currently, the princess is in school at Lambrook School, Berkshire, attending with her two brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis.
This unique birthday portrait is in line with other such photo releases from the royal family, including those commemorating Prince Louis’s recent seventh birthday. Both portraits were shot by Catherine, highlighting the close relationship between the family and the public, as well as offering a rare and intimate look at the lives of the royal children.
As the royal family continues to juggle their public and private lives, these personal snaps are a warm reminder of their dedication to sharing moments of family love and tradition with the public, further solidifying the special place the young royals occupy in the hearts of people all over the world.
