She looks just like her dad
Princess Charlotte Looks So Grown Up in New Birthday Portrait —Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing
Princess Charlotte just turned 10, and to mark the big day, the royal family shared a brand-new photo, and fans can’t get over how much she looks like Prince William. The sweet snapshot, released on May 2, shows the young royal beaming, and the resemblance to her dad is seriously uncanny.
For her 10th birthday, Princess Charlotte didn’t pose in a palace or wear a frilly dress. Nope—she showed up in camo, outdoors in Cumbria, looking like she just conquered the countryside and Instagram. The photo, snapped by mom Kate Middleton on her phone, was posted May 2 on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official page—and instantly blew up online.
The main reason? Charlotte looks exactly like her dad. Like, copy-paste levels of resemblance.


Kate and William are clearly raising Charlotte, George, and Louis with a different playbook than past royals. The caption was sweet and simple, just a message from Kate and William marking the big day.
But behind the cuteness is a smart move: show the world a royal family that feels...well, normal. No staged perfection, just Charlotte being a cool, confident 10-year-old who happens to be fourth in line to the throne.
Royal watchers were quick to note how effortlessly Charlotte handles the camera. She’s been in the public eye since day one and always looks at ease—like the spotlight is just part of the scenery. This year’s birthday post, which included a heartfelt message from her parents and a portrait snapped by Princess Catherine herself, grabbed instant attention not just for the milestone, but for the striking resemblance to Prince William.
Naturally, the comments section exploded. One Instagram user summed it up with: “Wow, spitting image of her dad.” Another went into total awe: “OMG, that is William with long hair!!!... Uncanny how alike she is to her daddy. Happy little girl!”


The comments came flooding in, and they all seemed to echo the same sentiment: Charlotte is growing up to be the perfect mix of her royal roots—especially her dad. Fans pointed out the striking resemblance with comments like, “She looks just like her daddy and also Grandma, Princess Diana. Happy 10th Birthday, little princess,” and “No doubt who her dad is!” Others chimed in with, “Same smile of her dad,” and “A girl copy of her dad.”
The photo didn’t just mark a milestone—it reminded everyone how closely the past and future of the royal family can sometimes look alike.
While everyone’s now focused on how much Princess Charlotte resembles her dad, many had previously pointed out that she was once the spitting image of the Queen.
