Princess Charlotte just hit double digits! To celebrate her 10th birthday, proud parents Kate Middleton and Prince William shared a never-before-seen photo of their daughter on their official Instagram account. The adorable picture, taken by Kate herself, shows Charlotte outdoors, beaming with a bright smile as she sits among the wild grass. Dressed in a camouflage jacket and wearing a small rucksack, Charlotte looked ready for adventure, with her hair flying in all directions thanks to the gusty wind.
The photo was accompanied by a simple yet heartfelt caption from the Prince and Princess of Wales:
“Happy 10th Birthday, Princess Charlotte!” followed by a red heart emoji.
This sweet tradition of sharing new portraits on their children’s birthdays has become a staple for the royal couple. They’ve kept it up since their eldest, Prince George, was just a baby—giving fans a small but cherished glimpse into their family life each year.
As soon as the birthday post went live, royal fans flooded the comments with warm wishes for the young royal. Many also pointed out just how much Charlotte is starting to resemble her father, Prince William, especially with that wide, toothy grin.
Charlotte may only be 10, but she’s already had quite a year full of memorable public appearances. She was spotted with her mother at the Wimbledon finals, and even made a surprise appearance at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert, where she was joined by Prince William and her older brother, Prince George.
Fans were thrilled when a selfie of the royals posing with Swift herself was shared online. The moment didn’t go unnoticed—NFL star Jason Kelce even talked about it on his podcast, saying:
“I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte… she was so f—— adorable. Like, I cannot…”
Travis Kelce, who was also at the concert to support his girlfriend Taylor, agreed:
“She was a superstar.”
Charlotte has also taken part in key royal events this past year. At Trooping the Colour, a traditional celebration in honor of King Charles III’s birthday, Charlotte was seen keeping her younger brother, Prince Louis, in line—gently stopping him from dancing too enthusiastically to the band music. Ever the poised big sister, she also received some hair-fixing attention from her mom, ensuring her look was picture-perfect for the occasion.
As she turns 10, Princess Charlotte is growing into her own role within the royal family—graceful, confident, and full of charm. Here’s to a fabulous new decade for the young royal!
