Princess Charlotte at 9. A royal portrait of Joy and a resemblance
On the Instagram profiles of Kate Middleton and Prince William, a new portrait of Princess Charlotte celebrating her 9th birthday has been shared. Is she increasingly looking like her mother?
Despite various challenges the British royal family has faced recently, there have also been moments of joy and leisure in the family circle. It's worth noting that just a week ago, the royals celebrated the sixth birthday of Prince Louis. A few days back, Prince William and Kate Middleton delighted fans with a special photo for their 13th wedding anniversary, and now it's time to celebrate Princess Charlotte's birthday. The only daughter of the royal couple has just turned nine years old.
Princess Charlotte celebrates her 9th birthday. William and Kate publish a new photo of their daughter
On May 2, 2015, at the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London, the first daughter of Duchess Kate and Prince William was born. To mark Princess Charlotte's 9th birthday, an official new portrait of her, taken by Kate Middleton herself, was shared on the royal couple's official social media account as usual. It's well known that the Duchess has a passion for photography and enjoys capturing tender family moments. The post was accompanied by birthday wishes for Charlotte, authored by Kate.
"Happy 9th Birthday, Princess Charlotte! Thank you for all of the kind messages today", the caption was under the photo on Instagram.
The shared photo shows Princess Charlotte posing delightfully in a garden surrounded by blooming trees. The birthday girl is dressed in a maroon cardigan, navy sweater, and denim skirt, enchanting with her smile. Many wishes promptly appeared under the photo from fans, and in the comments, a debate about whom the young princess resembles sparked off. While most users see a greater resemblance to her father, some voices also draw comparisons to her mother.
Last week, William and Kate revealed a new portrait of their youngest child - Prince Louis. It's important to mention that initially, many netizens were disappointed that this year, the Duke and Duchess might not release a new birthday portrait of their son - as similar photos had leaked online even a day before in past years. Nevertheless, on Louis's actual birthday, a fresh photograph of their son did make it onto the couple's profile.
