Princess Charlotte’s new birthday portrait has royal fans all making the same unmistakable point
It's Princess Charlotte's 10th birthday today and, as per tradition, the Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a portrait of her to mark the occasion.
The snap was shared to the official Kensington Royal social media accounts earlier today (2 May), just a little over a week since the same was done for Charlotte's younger brother, Prince Louis, who turned seven last month (23 April).
The eldest of Kate Middleton and Prince William's three children, Prince George, is set to turn 12 later this summer (22 July).
After catching a glimpse of Charlotte's birthday post, it's clear it didn't take long for royal fans to all make the exact same unmistakable point.
