JAKARTA - Princess Charlotte turned 11 years old on Saturday, May 2. Kate Middleton and Prince William marked their daughter's birthday by sharing a new portrait on Instagram.
According to a report by People, which was quoted on Saturday, May 2, the photo was taken by photographer Matt Porteous while the Wales family was enjoying an Easter holiday in Cornwall.
In the never-before-released photo, Charlotte stands in a meadow and is surrounded by flowers. She smiles wearing a striped top and denim pants. Her nails are painted blue.
"May Charlotte have a very happy 11th birthday!" the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote in the post.
Kate and William also shared a follow-up video featuring Charlotte petting a dog and playing outdoors.
"Thank you for the beautiful birthday wishes for Princess Charlotte, who turns 11 today!" they wrote.
Charlotte is the middle child of the three children of the Prince and Princess of Wales. She has an older brother, Prince George, 12, and a younger brother, Prince Louis, 8.
People previously wrote a special report on Charlotte's life in the royal family. A palace source said Charlotte has a strong character and looks more mature than her age.
Kate is said to be trying to raise her children by balancing royal duties and everyday life. In Charlotte, this is seen from the way she appears at public events, which always looks calm, neat, and not awkward.
"It's really her personality - it's not forced," said children's fashion designer Amaia Arrieta, who has met Charlotte several times.
According to Arrieta, Charlotte looks confident and comfortable with herself and her surroundings.
Outside the royal spotlight, Charlotte attends Lambrook School with her two siblings. Kate and William also regularly attend their children's sporting events.
"He is definitely sporty like his mother. A little like a smaller version of his mother," a palace source said.
Charlotte also likes dancing and playing the piano like Kate. She appeared to play the piano in the broadcast of Kate's annual Christmas song service in December 2025.
Even though she is often at official events, Charlotte is considered to still look natural.
"He is natural and easy to adapt to the royal event," said the palace source.
