Princess Charlotte turns 10 in new portrait by Kate Middleton

Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate, marked her 10th birthday on May 2, 2025, with a joyful new portrait released to the public.

Continuing a beloved royal tradition, the photo was taken by her mother, the Princess of Wales, and offers a candid glimpse into Charlotte’s growing personality.

Captured earlier this year during a family hike in Cumbria, the image shows Charlotte beaming at the camera while dressed in a camouflage jacket, navy leggings, and a backpack.

Her relaxed outfit and cheerful expression reflect her adventurous and down-to-earth spirit.

Unlike previous portraits taken with professional cameras, this year’s image was snapped on Kate’s iPhone, adding a modern, intimate touch.

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born on May 2, 2015, at St. Mary’s Hospital in London.

She is third in line to the British throne, after her father and older brother, Prince George.

Her middle names pay tribute to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana.

Known for her lively and confident demeanor, Charlotte has earned the nickname "warrior princess" at school.

She enjoys a range of activities, including soccer, gymnastics, ballet, and tap dance.

During royal events, she’s often seen guiding her younger brother, Prince Louis, with a calm authority beyond her years.

As she enters her second decade, Princess Charlotte continues to charm the public with her poise, warmth, and vibrant personality—traits that suggest she’s destined to be a beloved figure in the future of the monarchy.

The new portrait not only celebrates her birthday but also gives royal fans a glimpse into the young royal she’s becoming.
