Today marks another royal birthday to celebrate, and with that comes another much-anticipated, never-seen-before photograph taken by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Princess Charlotte is turning 8 in New Zealand today, and her parents Prince William and Kate Middleton posted a heart-warming portrait on Instagram of the young royal looking pretty pleased about it.

Dressed in a white floral dress and showcasing a wide smile with two missing teeth, Princess Charlotte channelled the beginning of the spring season in the social media post, which comes a week before King Charles’ Coronation on May 6.
The royals captioned the photo: “Wishing Princess Charlotte a very happy birthday! 8 tomorrow”, with a celebratory balloon emoji and a cake emoji.
