Today marks a special day for the royal family as Princess Charlotte turns nine years old. To celebrate, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a brand new picture of their daughter on their official KensingtonRoyal account, wishing her a happy birthday and expressing their love for her.
The photo, taken by Kate herself, captures a beaming Charlotte leaning against a fence, with beautiful jasmine flowers surrounding her. This tradition of releasing a new birthday snapshot of each of their three children has become a beloved tradition for the Waleses. Just last week, Kate shared an unedited picture of Prince Louis on his sixth birthday, and the year before, she gave us a cheerful glimpse of Charlotte on her eighth birthday.
However, this tradition didn't start off smoothly. On Charlotte's first birthday in 2016, she was not in the mood to sit still for a picture, causing some challenges for her parents. But as she grew older, she became more cooperative, and we got to see her sweet smile and playful nature in her birthday photos each year.
According to Prince William, Charlotte is a feisty little princess who knows what she wants. In a recent appearance in the West Midlands, he revealed that when anyone asks her age, she confidently responds that she's 16. "I'll do whatever I want," she says, showing us that she's not afraid to speak her mind.
As the third in line to the throne, Charlotte holds an important role in the royal family. Her full name, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, pays tribute to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana. She is also the younger sister of Prince George, who is 10 years old and second in line to the throne.
The royal family has had a tough start to the new year, with the unexpected cancer diagnoses of King Charles and Kate. Both have been receiving treatment and are determined to continue their royal duties while taking care of their health.
King Charles made his first public appearance since his diagnosis on Tuesday, visiting a cancer unit in London with his wife, Queen Camilla. Meanwhile, Kate has been raising awareness about cancer and its impact on families, especially children, by sharing her personal experience with the public.
As we celebrate Princess Charlotte's ninth birthday, our thoughts are also with the royal family as they navigate through these challenges. We wish the young princess a happy birthday and a bright future ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, and follow The Agency on Twitter and Facebook for the latest news.
