The photo has received widespread praise for its natural beauty and the warmth it conveys. Princess Charlotte’s smile and relaxed pose perfectly reflect the charm and confidence she has displayed in her many public appearances over the past year.

As per tradition, Kate Middleton and Prince William release a new portrait of each of their children on their birthdays.

This royal custom began when Prince George, now 11, was just a baby. The tradition is their way of acknowledging the countless birthday wishes they receive and offering a glimpse into the children’s lives.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have clearly instilled confidence and a sense of responsibility in their daughter.

Princess Charlotte has often been seen guiding her younger brother, Prince Louis, during royal events.

At the Trooping the Colour ceremony in June, she was spotted politely correcting Louis on how to stand during the national anthem, and earlier that day, she encouraged him to behave during the celebrations for King Charles’ birthday.

As Princess Charlotte turns 10, Kate Middleton and Prince William continue to share proud moments with the public, giving royal fans a glimpse into the life of a young royal who is growing up with grace, charm, and a touch of star quality.
