Princess Charlotte Celebrates 10th Birthday With Family

Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate, celebrated her 10th birthday surrounded by family, with a new birthday portrait shared by her parents on social media. Born on May 2, 2015, Charlotte is third in line to the British throne and shares her full name, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, in tribute to her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and grandmother Princess Diana. The family has made efforts to raise Charlotte and her brothers in a relatively normal environment, with chores and limited staff, and they now reside in Windsor. Charlotte has made several public appearances, including at Trooping the Colour and family holiday events, and is described as having a 'sassy sense of humour' and being the 'boss' among her siblings. The Wales family's tradition of sharing birthday photos continues, with this year's portrait taken by Kate herself, marking a return to the Princess's personal photography for family milestones. Charlotte's birthdays are typically celebrated privately, but the royal family often shares glimpses of their celebrations with the public.
