Adorable photo of Princess Charlotte taken by Princess Kate is shared to celebrate ninth birthday
AN adorable photo of Princess Charlotte taken by Princess Kate has been shared to celebrate her ninth birthday.
Sweet Lottie beamed from ear to ear as she posed in a garden wearing a floral blouse paired with a denim skirt, navy jumper and red cardigan.
The Prince and Princess of Wales posted the cute snap, which was captured by mum Kate, on their Twitter account on Thursday morning.
Doting parents Kate and Wills wrote: “Happy 9th Birthday, Princess Charlotte!
“Thank you for all of the kind messages today.”
The third-in-line to the thrown is understood to be celebrating her special day with her parents and two brothers George, 10, and Louis, six.
Kate, a keen photographer, regularly receives plaudits for her snaps of her three children, which she shows to the world on their birthdays.
To mark the occasion last year, an image showed Charlotte wearing a blue and white striped jumper cuddling family pet Orla, a black cocker spaniel.
The photograph was taken in the gardens of the Windsor Estate in Berkshire.
Charlotte’s latest pic comes just weeks after Louis celebrated his sixth birthday.
Kate captured the image of her youngest child at Windsor before posting: “Happy 6th Birthday, Prince Louis!
“Thank you for all the kind wishes today.”
Brave Kate is currently undergoing preventive chemotherapy after being given a devastating cancer diagnosis.
Kate, 42, told how her health scare had come as a huge shock and that she and William “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family”.
The Prince returned to work following the Easter holidays when the Waleses spent quality time with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The loved-up royals recently celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary.
An unseen black and white photo was shared of the couple relaxed and smiling on their big day in 2011.
It is believed the couple celebrated away from the spotlight, after Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she completes her treatment.
She praised her husband for his support during “an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family” in an emotional message to the nation last month announcing her health news.
“Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance,” she said.
