Charlotte is the second child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and she stands third in line to the British throne. Her position in the line of succession comes due to a significant change in the monarchy’s rules made in 2013. The reform ended the practice of placing male heirs ahead of their elder sisters, allowing Charlotte, born in 2015, to retain her place above her younger brother.
Her full name, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, pays tribute to both her late grandmother Princess Diana and great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
The photo is part of a family tradition in which Kate, an avid amateur photographer, captures special moments of her children. It comes just days after a similar birthday portrait was shared to mark Prince Louis’ seventh birthday.
