A picture of Princess Charlotte smiling while walking in a field of daisies has been shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales to celebrate her eleventh birthday.
The previously unseen image, shot by Matt Porteous during the Waleses’ Easter break in Cornwall, shows Charlotte wearing a black and red striped jumper and blue denim jeans, walking in a flowery field while smiling at the camera.
It was posted on the Kensington Palace Instagram and X accounts, with the message: “Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!”
William and Kate also shared a short video on Saturday showing a series of clips of Charlotte during the same holiday in Cornwall.
The princess can be seen patting the family’s dogs Orla and Otto, smiling on a boat while the wind is blowing her hair, making a heart with stones in the sand and running before throwing a ball on the beach.
The footage was posted on the Kensington Palace Instagram and X accounts, with the message: “Thank you for the lovely birthday messages for Princess Charlotte, 11 today!”
On Friday, the family celebrated their second dog’s first birthday by posting a picture of the brown spaniel on social media and revealing its name as Otto.
The snapshot was also taken in Cornwall by Mr Porteous, to whom the Waleses often turn to mark family occasions.
The image shows Otto looking at the camera and was accompanied by the caption: “Welcome to the family, Otto! 1 today.”
On Wednesday, a snapshot of the family and their two dogs was also shared on social media, to mark William and Kate’s 15th wedding anniversary.
The image, also taken by Mr Porteous in Cornwall, shows the couple lying together in the grass in the sunshine, surrounded by Charlotte, her two brothers Prince George and Prince Louis, and the family’s two dogs.
