Royal fans are all saying the same thing after Kensington Palace released a charming new photo of Princess Charlotte to mark her 10th birthday — she looks just like her father, Prince William.

The casual portrait, captured by the Princess of Wales during a family trip to Cumbria earlier this year, shows Charlotte smiling in the great outdoors, wearing a £37 Jack Pyke ‘Evolution Camo’ jacket, dark jeans, and a backpack.

Unlike previous formal birthday portraits, this year’s image presents a relaxed, windswept Charlotte sitting in the grass, her hair loosely tied back — a move that delighted many royal watchers.

Fans Spot Striking Family Resemblance

After Kensington Palace shared the photo online, royal fans flocked to social media to point out Charlotte’s uncanny resemblance to her father at the same age.

Comments included:

• “Wow! She is 100% William when he was her age!
• Princess Charlotte is the female version of young Prince William.
• Happy birthday Princess Charlotte! So much like her dad.”
• Prince William really said copy and paste.

Some even shared side-by-side comparison photos, calling Charlotte “her dad’s twin.

Other fans noted hints of Catherine, Princess of Wales, and even a resemblance to Charlotte’s late grandmother, Princess Diana.

Echoes of Royal Family Tradition

The choice of outdoor gear also drew comparisons with Prince William’s own childhood photos, where he was often seen in khaki attire during royal events and public appearances.

Royal watchers also praised Charlotte’s confident yet carefree attitude, suggesting she will naturally take on significant royal roles in the future, including possibly succeeding Princess Anne as Princess Royal.

A Milestone Moment for the Young Royal

Born on May 2, 2015, at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, Princess Charlotte is third in line to the throne and made history as the first British princess to rank above a younger brother following changes to the rules of succession.

She currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire with her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis.

Sources suggest her parents may be considering Marlborough College — Catherine’s alma mater — for her future education.

Today’s release marks a return to tradition, with Princess Kate once again taking her children’s birthday portraits — a heartfelt hobby she continues to pursue alongside her royal duties.
