Overview
- The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new portrait on Saturday to celebrate Princess Charlotte turning 11 via their official social accounts.
- Hours later, they posted a short video montage thanking well‑wishers that shows Charlotte on a beach with the family dogs, Orla and Otto, and bowling a cricket ball.
- Both the still image and the footage were captured by longtime collaborator Matt Porteous during the family’s Easter break in Cornwall.
- The portrait presents an informal look, with Charlotte in a red‑and‑black striped sweater and jeans, her hair worn long, and blue nail polish noted by several outlets.
- The birthday posts follow a week of family updates, including a 15th‑anniversary family photo on April 29 and the May 1 reveal of puppy Otto’s name and first birthday, reinforcing the couple’s steady trickle of home‑style updates.
