Fans pay tribute to Princess Charlotte as she marks her 11th birthday

Fans have sent good wishes to Princess Charlotte as she marks her 11th birthday today.

The only daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales was born in St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington on May 2 2015.

She is a year younger than oldest son Prince George and three years older than younger brother Louis.

The Princess spent her earliest years at Kensington Palace in Windsor before the Waleses moved to the Windsor royal estate, where they now live at Forest Lodge.

Kensington Palace released a portrait of Charlotte to mark her birthday with the message: “Wishing Charlotte a very happy 11th birthday !”
Earlier this week, William and Kate marked their 15th wedding anniversary by sharing an adorable new photo of the family.

The picture shows the family lying together in the grass on a sun-kissed day.

The never-seen-before image was taken by photographer Matt Porteous in Cornwall and shows them relaxing barefoot during the Easter break.

The post on Kensington Palace ’s social media read: “Celebrating 15 years of marriage ” followed by a red heart emoji.

Wishing Charlotte a happy birthday, one fan said: “Happy 11th Birthday Princess Charlotte.

Enjoy your day.”
Another added: “She is so lovely...

Happy Birthday sweet Princess.”
While another well-wisher said: “Wishing you the Happiest of 11th Birthdays Princess Charlotte.”
The happy family moment comes after they faced challenging times when Kate was diagnosed with cancer in 2024.

She revealed last year she was in remission .

Earlier this year Kate described how a cancer journey has “moments of fear and exhaustion” but also “moments of strength, kindness and profound connection”.

The couple met at St Andrews university, where they were both students.

It’s rumoured that Kate first caught William’s eye when she modelled at a charity show runway in March 2002, and they began dating soon afterwards.
