Princess Charlotte looks like Kate and William in new birthday photo - USA Today

Princess Charlotte is picture-ready as she celebrates her big 11. The daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate turned 11 on Saturday, May 2, and her parents celebrated the occasion with a never-before-seen portrait where she resembled them both. A new photograph, shared on the royal couple's Instagram page, shows the young princess smiling candidly with a caption that reads, "Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!" Photographer Matt Porteous captured the image during the royal family's Easter trip in Cornwall, showing Charlotte posing in a red-and-black striped top and denim pants with nails painted blue. The post's comment section was flooded with birthday wishes and compliments, with Crystal Geitter writing, "Loving those 💅🏻! Iove that they let her be a normal kids." William and Kate shared another post, featuring a video montage of Charlotte, and thanked the public for the birthday wishes. The video shows the princess playing at the beach and petting the family's dogs, Otto and Orla. The family revealed Otto's name on May 1 with a portrait of the young English cocker spaniel in a grassy meadow. In a May 1 Instagram post, the Princess of Wales revealed the name of their one-year-old dog with a caption that read "Welcome to the family, Otto! 1 today." Otto appears to be the son of the royal couple's black cocker spaniel Orla, who joined the family in 2020 and has made several royal appearances. In February, Kate revealed that they kept one male puppy from her 2025 litter. Otto made his public debut in a family photo shared on Instagram on April 29, celebrating the 15th anniversary of William and Kate's wedding. The photo showed the couple lying on the grass alongside Charlotte and their two sons, Prince George, 12 and Prince Louis, 8. Their latest anniversary comes after King Charles III and Queen Camilla's historic visit to the United States, their first since ascending to the throne. The pair returned to England on April 30, walking off a helicopter and bidding farewell to British Ambassador to the U.S. Christian Turner, marking the end of the four-day state visit.
