Watch: Princess Charlotte Is Mom Kate Middleton’s Mini-Me in 11th Birthday Portrait
Princess Charlotte is one royally fashionable birthday girl.
The daughter of and Prince William turned 11 on May 2, with the royal family marking the preteen’s special day by releasing an official portrait following the annual tradition.
In the photo shared to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram account, the birthday girl was all smiles as she posed in a flower garden wearing a red and black striped sweater paired with blue jeans.
As the royal couple captioned the photo alongside a birthday cake emoji, “Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!”
But the tribute to Charlotte didn’t stop there. After all, Kate and William also shared a video of their little girl bonding with the family’s new puppy Otto.
In the clip shared to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram account May 2, Charlotte can be seen cuddling with her family’s adorable new addition on a boat before playing with seashells on the beach.
The young royal also showed off her sporty side as she threw a ball for her furry friend to fetch.
“Thank you for the lovely birthday messages for Princess Charlotte,” the caption read, “11 today!”
And the heartfelt post comes only a few days after William, 43, and Kate, 44, shared another sweet image of Charlotte, this time alongside her brothers Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, 8. In the candid shot—which was posted on Instagram on April 29—the royal family can be seen smiling while posing together in the grass.
Indeed, William, Kate and their children had something to smile about, as the family portrait was posted to mark the couple’s 15th wedding anniversary. While the family wore neutral and muted-colored outfits, a closer look showed Charlotte rocking a colorful accent: an icy blue manicure.
Another occasion the British royals celebrated recently? William and Kate’s youngest child’s birthday. The British royals marked the now-8-year-old’s special day on April 23, posting Prince Louis’ birthday portrait on Instagram with the caption, “Happy birthday, Louis! 8 today!”
“Thank you for all the birthday wishes for Prince Louis,” William and Kate captioned the Instagram video. “8 is great!”
