Princess Charlotte Is Prince William’s Mini-Me at 10 in New Birthday Picture: See the Side-by-Side Photos

Princess Charlotte is turning 10 and looking a lot like her father, Prince William, at the same age!

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s only daughter celebrated her 10th birthday on May 2, and the royal couple released a new picture of the princess to commemorate the occasion.

“Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte!” they said in the caption of the portrait taken by Princess Kate, who often gets behind the camera for birthday snaps of Charlotte and her brothers, Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, 7. The latest photo showed Charlotte smiling as she sat on a grassy mountain, wearing her hair in a ponytail and sporting a camouflage jacket with a backpack.

Sky News reported that the snap was captured by Kate on her iPhone in Cumbria, England, earlier this year, and Charlotte’s resemblance to William was uncanny.

It has long been said that Prince William, 42, and Princess Charlotte have a similar smile and eyes, and even he has commented about their shared looks.

While viewing a childhood picture of himself featured in a display in January 2020, William asked, “Is that me? Because that looks just like Charlotte. That is incredible.”

“It looks so much like Charlotte,” Princess Kate.

William and Charlotte are known to share a tight father-daughter bond, which the world occasionally gets glimpses of. The princess was wrapped in a hug by her dad while they stood together on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in June 2023, and she held his hand during the royal family’s walk to church on Christmas in 2024.

The Prince of Wales has also spoken about the activities his daughter is interested in as a way to connect with children he meets around her age at official engagements.

“Charlotte loves her dancing and performing as well, so I’m going to show her your video when I get home, see where I’ve been today,” Prince William told 10-year-old performer Ruby Davies during a school stop in Wales last year.
