Princess Charlotte Marks Her 10th Birthday with a Cute Photo, but People Can’t Stop Buzzing About One Detail

Princess Charlotte is marking a special milestone — her 10th birthday! To celebrate the occasion on Friday, May 2, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a delightful new photo of their daughter, captured by Catherine herself.

Spring is a season full of celebrations for the royal family, with both Prince William and Princess Catherine, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, marking their wedding anniversaries. It’s also a time for birthday festivities, as Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Archie all celebrate their birthdays within just a few weeks of each other.

May 2 marks a very special birthday for Princess Charlotte as she celebrates turning 10 — a major milestone! To commemorate the occasion, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a new photo of their daughter on social media. The picture shows Charlotte beaming with joy outdoors, dressed in camouflage and sporting a ponytail, looking every bit the happy, carefree child. The caption read: “Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte!”

The photo was taken by Catherine on her iPhone during a family visit to Cumbria, in the northwest of England, in early 2025.

Royal fans quickly filled the comments section with warm birthday wishes for Princess Charlotte. Many also pointed out the striking resemblance between the now 10-year-old and her father, Prince William, noting how much she’s grown to look like him.

“Wow... She looks exactly like her Dad... Happy birthday,” one person wrote. Another admirer echoed the sentiment, commenting, “OMG! That is William with long hair! Uncanny how alike she is to her daddy. Happy little girl,” while someone else added, “Absolutely stunning! Looks like William but also her grandmother.”

The Princess of Wales’ recent change in appearance — particularly her new hair color — has also caught the attention of fans. She’s opted for a fresh “bronde” look for the summer — a blend of brown and blonde — that experts say strikes the perfect balance between “aspirational and approachable.”

While visiting the Isle of Mull, the 43-year-old royal was seen engaging warmly with locals, her lighter locks glowing against the vibrant backdrop of the island’s colorful houses. The future queen’s new look has certainly made a lasting impression.

Fans were equally enthusiastic about the Princess’s refreshed appearance, showering her with compliments. “I think she looks more beautiful than ever and I hope she is starting to feel well again,” one person wrote. Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “She looks beautiful and like many of us like to add some highlights to our hair in the springtime to give us a little lift after a long g dark winter.”

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez has also given fans a rare glimpse of her son, instantly sparking buzz and conversation about his appearance.
