“She looks so much like her grandmother!” A new portrait of Princess Charlotte in honor of her 8th birthday amazed fans
Despite being just a toddler at the wedding of Meghan and Harry, Princess Charlotte has now grown up to be 8 years old.

On this special day, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a new image of their daughter on their official account. The festive portrait of Princess Charlotte was a delightful addition to the holiday season.
In an adorable photo, Charlotte is all smiles while seated in a white wicker chair donning a beautiful snow-white dress scattered with light blue and pink floral patterns. It is significant to note that the picture was taken by none other than Kate Middleton at the family residence in Windsor.
In the recently released portraits, it’s evident that the young royal has grown up so quickly.
