Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton, celebrated her 11th birthday on May 2, and her parents marked the occasion by releasing a new official portrait. The photo, shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram account, shows Charlotte beaming in a flower garden, wearing a red and black striped sweater and blue jeans. The couple captioned the post with a birthday cake emoji and the message, "Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!"
But the birthday tributes didn't end with the portrait. William and Kate also shared a video of Charlotte bonding with the family's new puppy, Otto. In the clip, Charlotte is seen cuddling with the dog on a boat and later playing with seashells on the beach. She also shows off her sporty side by throwing a ball for Otto to fetch. The video caption read, "Thank you for the lovely birthday messages for Princess Charlotte. 11 today!"
The birthday post comes just days after the royal couple shared a family photo for their 15th wedding anniversary on April 29. That candid shot featured William, Kate, Charlotte, Prince George (12), and Prince Louis (8) smiling together in the grass. A closer look revealed Charlotte sporting an icy blue manicure, adding a colorful accent to the family's neutral outfits.
Earlier, on April 23, the royals celebrated Prince Louis' 8th birthday with a portrait and a behind-the-scenes video of him running on the beach and jumping into the ocean. The couple captioned the post, "Happy birthday, Louis! 8 today!"
