Princess Charlotte Turns Six

lmt — Sun, 02 May 2021 09:28:27 GMT

Suddenly Princess Charlotte seems quite the young lady.

Perhaps it is her long hair, worn down instead of pushed back off her head in a bow, but as this official photograph released to mark her sixth birthday today clearly shows, she hasn’t lost her mischievous grin.

Spirited females feature throughout Royal history and Charlotte has inherited a forthright confidence – what her mother calls ‘a feisty side’.

Sandwiched in age between older brother George, seven, and three-year-old Louis, she is more than capable of holding her own. Family friends describe her as ‘determined’ and ‘bright as a button’ – both in brains and personality.

The image shot yesterday in Norfolk by her mother Kate is the latest in a series of delightful mementoes of Charlotte’s birthdays taken by the Duchess.

In the new picture, Charlotte wears a Rachel Riley floral summer dress and her widest smile as Kate captures something of her impishness too. Similar traits are shared by the women on her mother’s side of the family.

Wow; she is looking more like William as she gets older. Lovely little girl. Thanks for posting.

Wow, I can't believe how grown up she looks!

It's so nice to see her wearing her hair down for a change. Usually we see pictures of Charlotte with her hair in a ponytail, or clipped back in some way. Her hair looks a bit lighter, too.

I always thought that George and Louis took after Kate's father, Michael Middleton. I know that most people have commented that Charlotte takes after the Queen, but I think she really favors Wiilliam.

The photos below were from the video clip that Will and Kate released for their 10th wedding anniversary.

Enjoying family time outdoors at their Norfolk residence Anmer Hall. Charlotte was seen playing and toasting a marshmallow on a camp fire.

@Goldengate8361 @January121 Agree!

The older Charlotte gets the more she's taking after William, especially around the eyes.

Cute pic.

Her hair color doesn't look natural. Not sure if Kate styled Charlotte's hair in front like that on purpose, but it makes her look older.

Amazing how a hair style can really change an image.

I agree that her hair coloring does not look natural at all but highlighted. Also (and this was more apparent in the photo I saw on the People site) it looks like she is wearing lipstick. She is too young for both IMO.

I predict future heartaches for Wills & Kate. Queen will not have to go through that one. LOL

Wish I could remember what was that the Queen recently changed in regards to Royalty marrying ? The whole business of marrying people

outside of England. Seems like they changed something and Queen altered it to include further down the line anticipating the problem would pop up with Kate's kids.

Don't know what to look for so it's hard to Google it.

Maybe it's me, but her hair looks high lighted. Why?

IMO As George gets older he looks more and more like his Uncle Spencer, Diana's brother who spoke at her funeral.

There are questions about this all over the internet. I got this on twitter.

I hope they let her be a little girl.

I disagree with parents letting their children, especially little girls, grow up too fast.

I'm encouraging my children to stay children as long as they can, because once childhood is gone, you can't go back. So enjoy being a little kid.

Perhaps our Brit friend @dulwich can shed light on this, but it seems like the U.K. press basically leaves the Cambridge children alone (i.e. not lurking in bushes for photos, etc) and pretty much accepts the intermittent release of photos at times William and Kate choose to release them. There doesn't seem to be intrusion on the children. That's a good thing. My perception of course may be wrong, but I do look at U.K. papers every day and don't see anything like intrusion.
