Princess Charlotte turns 10, and, as per tradition, the Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a portrait of her to mark the occasion.
The photo was posted to the official Kensington Royal social media accounts on 2 May, just over a week after a similar birthday tribute was shared for her younger brother, Prince Louis, who turned seven on 23 April.
The eldest of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s three children, Prince George, is set to turn 12 later this summer (22 July).
After catching a glimpse of Charlotte’s birthday post, it’s clear it didn’t take long for royal fans to all make the exact same unmistakable point.
The photo in question features Princess Charlotte seated outdoors, seemingly during a countryside hike. She’s dressed in a camouflage jacket and carrying a rucksack, smiling directly at the camera.
Prince William and Kate captioned the image—captured by the Princess of Wales herself—with a heartfelt message: “Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte!”
Fans of the royals immediately rushed to social media to share their reactions to the photo, with many pointing out that Charlotte is the spitting image of her father.
One penned: “The image of her dad. Happy birthday!”
“So like her dad happy birthday,” a second chimed in while a third agreed: “Image of her daddy!”
A fourth stated: “She looks just like her dad!”
“She looks so much like William!” quipped a fifth while a sixth gushed: “Oh wow she looks like her dad now!”
Another beamed: “Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte. Looking more like your daddy every day!”
And a final social media user added: “She has same smile of her father at 10 years old. His mini me forever!”
A similar familial comparison was made after the upload of Louis’ birthday portrait – namely that the child looked exactly like Kate’s father, Michael Middleton.
“Prince Louis looks like his grandpa Michael Middleton,” wrote one X user.
A second chirped: “Happy Birthday, Prince Louis!!!! Middleton genes are on full display!!!”
“What a cutie,” exclaimed a third, “he is Papa Middleton’s little twin!”
In addition, fans couldn’t get over just how much little Louis had grown up since last seeing him with a fourth saying: “He’s suddenly all grown up. Happy birthday to Prince Louis!!”
“Wow, so grown up all of a sudden! Happy Birthday Louis,” exclaimed another and a final X user added: “Wow! 7 y/o already!? Time flies!”
It sure does.
