Happy birthday Princess Charlotte! Prince William and Kate Middleton’s daughter turned 11 years old on May 2, and to celebrate, the royal couple shared new pictures and videos of their middle child on their joint Instagram account.
In one post, Charlotte stands among daisies with trees behind her, looking grown up with long hair and a red and navy blue sweater. “Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday!” reads the caption.

In another post, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a sweet video with multiple snippets of Charlotte. First, the Princess can be seen petting the family’s two dogs, a black cocker spaniel named Orla, who joined the family in 2020, and a brown cocker spaniel name Otto, who is Orla’s son. In the next frame, Charlotte cuddles one of the dogs while riding on a boat. Next, the youngster can be seen spelling something out in the sand using shells at the beach and throwing a cricket ball.

William, 43, and Kate, 44, are also parents to Prince George, who is 12 years old, and Prince Louis, who turned eight on April 23. They celebrated that recent milestone similarly, with a new portrait of their youngest son and a sweet video montage seemingly including scenes from the same beach trip.
