Princess Charlotte Celebrates Her 8th Birthday with a Charming New Portrait

Princess Charlotte, the third in line to the throne, is celebrating her 8th birthday in style with a new portrait that has been released just in time for the occasion.

The charming picture shows the young princess leaning back in a chair and beaming from ear to ear, dressed in a white dress and her tousled hair framing her face.

The photo was taken by her mother, the Princess of Wales, who is known for her love of photography and often takes portraits of her children to mark special occasions.

The picture was taken over the bank holiday weekend in Windsor, where the Waleses currently reside in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor's Home Park.

Charlotte is attending the private Lambrook School near Ascot in Berkshire, alongside her two brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis.

With so much excitement happening in her life, it's no wonder she's grinning from ear to ear.

The new photograph comes just a few days before the King's coronation, which will be held at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.

Charlotte is expected to accompany her brothers in the procession from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace after the ceremony.

It will be a day filled with excitement and pageantry, and Charlotte will undoubtedly be dressed in her finest attire.

It's been a busy few weeks for the royal family, with the celebration of Prince Louis's birthday just a few days ago.

The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a picture of their youngest son beaming in a wheelbarrow at their home.

It's clear that the young princes and princess are all happy, healthy, and full of energy.

Charlotte was born at the private maternity, Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, central London at 8.34am on May 2, 2015, weighing 8.03kg.

Her full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge, and she has already captured the hearts of people all over the world.

It's amazing to see how much Charlotte has grown and changed over the years.

Wrapped in a cozy white blanket and looking up at the world with bright, curious eyes, now she's a confident and poised young lady with a personality all her own.

As she celebrates her eighth birthday, we can only imagine the wonderful things that are in store for Charlotte in the years to come.

With her infectious smile, her natural grace, and her unmistakable royal pedigree, there's no doubt that she will continue to inspire and delight people all over the world.

Happy Birthday Princess Charlotte!
