The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, Takes Photos of Princess Charlotte for 9th Birthday

According to the headline news on the front page of the British Daily Mail on May 2, local time, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, who has attracted much attention due to her cancer, has returned behind the camera to take photos of her 9-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte. In the birthday photo, Princess Charlotte has grown up a lot compared to last year. She is smiling sweetly in front of her mother’s camera. The thoughtful mother and daughter also paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II and little Princess Charlotte’s beloved Gan-Gan in a special way.

The Mail described Charlotte in the photo as a “perfect little princess.” Nine-year-old Princess Charlotte is wearing a raspberry-colored wool cardigan with a denim skirt from the Parisian brand Cyrillus. The cardigan costs 42 pounds (approximately 380 yuan).

Princess Charlotte’s blond hair is already very long, hanging freely on her shoulders. She smiles cheerfully facing her mother’s camera, and her eyes are profound beyond her age. Readers of the Post commented that Charlotte in the photo is as beautiful as Dad, Prince William, looks more like him, especially his teeth.

Princess Charlotte casually rested her right arm on a clump of plants, a subtle greeting. The plant with pale pink flowers is Clematis montana var., and according to Garden Illustrated, the species pictured here was one of the first plants to be named after the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Princess Charlotte had a particularly deep relationship with her great-grandmother (she privately called the late queen Gan-Gan). At the queen’s funeral two years ago, Charlotte, who should have maintained a dignified manner, finally couldn’t bear it under the spotlight of the world. She held back the tears and cried.

Kensington Palace’s sharing of Princess Charlotte’s ninth birthday photos is the second time in as many weeks that they have broken a long-standing tradition. Traditionally, the Prince of Wales and his wife release their children’s birthday portraits in the early morning of their children’s birthdays, but recently, they have broken this tradition and delayed the release of the photos.

William and Kate have been the center of attention with speculation this year. After Kate’s cancer diagnosis, the couple has been cautious about sharing private family moments to protect their privacy during this challenging time.

Princess Charlotte’s new birthday photos have been loved by many British people. Readers commented that they were happy to see the beautiful little princess. One reader said that there is no need for the media to highlight Kate Middleton and King Charles III’s cancer in every news report, as it can be distressing for cancer patients.
