Princess Charlotte has turned 11, with Prince William and Princess Kate releasing a new portrait and personal family footage to mark the occasion.
Princess Charlotte turned 11 years old today. A new portrait of Princess Charlotte has been released by the Prince and Princess of Wales to mark their daughter’s 11th birthday, offering royal watchers a fresh glimpse of the young royal as she reaches another milestone year.
Princess Charlotte celebrates 11th birthday with family
The photograph, shared on official social media accounts on Saturday, shows Princess Charlotte smiling in a field of flowers during what is understood to have been a recent family holiday in Cornwall.
Alongside the portrait, Prince William and Catherine posted the message: “Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday! (sic)”
Later in the day, the royal couple shared a short video clip showing Princess Charlotte enjoying time on the beach with the family’s two English Cocker Spaniels, giving the public a rare look at her life away from official royal duties. The accompanying message read: “Thank you for the lovely birthday messages for Princess Charlotte, 11 today! (sic)”
Dressed casually in a striped jumper and jeans, the image presents a relaxed and natural look, continuing the family’s increasingly informal style for birthday portraits. The picture was taken by photographer Matt Porteous, who has captured several private family moments for the Wales family in recent years.
