Princess Charlotte receives special message from King Charles, Queen Camilla
As Princess Charlotte marks her 11th birthday today, May 2, 2026, the Royal Family has come together to celebrate the young Princess with public tributes and personal messages.
Leading the celebrations, King Charles and Queen Camilla shared a special nod to their granddaughter, showing the close-knit nature of the family despite a busy royal schedule.
A Grandfather's Special Message
King Charles III, currently on a solo working trip to Bermuda following a high-profile state visit, made sure to pause his official duties to acknowledge the milestone.
The Royal Tribute: The official Royal Family social media channels reshared the birthday portrait of Charlotte with a warm message: "Happy birthday to Princess Charlotte!" complete with birthday cake and balloon emojis.
The "Special Relationship": Royal biographers have long noted the King’s particular fondness for his only granddaughter.
Just last month at the Easter service, the King was seen sharing an affectionate moment with Charlotte, giving her a sweet pat on the shoulder as they entered the chapel. A Grandfather’s Pride: Insiders suggest the King is particularly proud of Charlotte’s poise and her growing reputation as a "stickler for protocol," often drawing comparisons to her great-aunt, Princess Anne.
Birthday Portrait and Rare Footage
The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new photograph and a charming video to mark the day, giving fans a glimpse into Charlotte's life as she enters her pre-teen years.
The "Daisies" Portrait
The official birthday image, captured by photographer Matt Porteous during a family break in Cornwall, shows Charlotte standing in a sunlit field of daisies.
The Look: She wore a red and black striped jumper over a blue collared shirt, paired with denim jeans—a relaxed, "country-chic" look that many noted is a direct tribute to her mother’s favorite Breton stripes.
The Resemblance: The photo sparked an immediate reaction from fans, with thousands commenting on how much she has grown to look like her father, Prince William.
Unseen Holiday Footage
In a rare move, the family also released a short video montage from their Cornish holiday:
The "Fast Bowler": The footage shows Charlotte’s athletic side, featuring her bowling a cricket ball with impressive form on the beach.
The Family Pets: Charlotte is seen cuddling with the family’s spaniels, Orla and Otto, and using sea shells to create a heart shape in the sand.
A Milestone for the "Wales" Family
At 11, Charlotte is the first of the Wales children to hit the pre-teen years. While her birthday is being spent privately, the outpouring of love from the public and the formal acknowledgment from the King and Queen highlight her growing importance within the Monarchy.
