Princess Charlotte celebrates her 11th birthday today, and the Royal Family released a sweet portrait of her to mark it.

Charlotte, the middle child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, turned 11 today.

The Prince and Princess of Wales posted a new snap of their daughter on their official social media account.

It is captioned ‘wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday’ with a cake emoji.

Charlotte is pictured with her long brown hair flowing over her shoulders as she stands smiling with flowers and trees around her.

She is dressed in a red and navy striped jumper and jeans, with blue nail varnish that matches her blue shirt collar.

Birthday wishes have poured in from fans on social media on Charlotte’s day.

One fan account said Charlotte is ‘so loved and I hope she will have a beautiful day.’

The birthday post said she is ‘always smiling’ and ‘seems to know the protocol very well.’

The only daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales was born exactly at 8.34am on May 2, 2015 at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London.

Her full name – Charlotte Elizabeth Diana – is in homage to her late grandmother, Princess Diana, and great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

She is a year and nine months younger than her older brother, Prince George, 12.

The Wales family has also revealed a family member, a puppy named Otto.

Prince and Princess of Wales shared a cute snap of the spaniel with a caption ‘Welcome to the familly Otto! 1 today.’

Otto joins their other pet dog Orla, a black cocker spaniel.

Last week, William and Kate shared a never-before-seen picture to mark their wedding anniversary.

It showed the beaming family lying on grass during their Easter holiday to Cornwall, with a caption ‘Celebrating 15 years of marriage.’

Charlotte was pictured with her parents and brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, at the Easter Matins service at Windsor Castle last month – the first time the family attended the tradition since Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
