New photo of Princess Charlotte released to mark her 10th birthday

A new picture of Princess Charlotte has been released by the Prince and Princess of Wales to mark her 10th birthday.

Kate took the photo on an iPhone during a visit to Cumbria earlier this year. The photograph was published on her parents' social media, with the caption: "Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte".

The Prince and Princess of Wales often share photographs of their children with their followers - many of them taken by keen amateur photographer Kate - to mark special occasions such as birthdays. A photo of Princess Charlotte's younger brother, Prince Louis, was also released through social media just over a week ago.

The image, taken by Yorkshire-born photographer Josh Shinner, was shared on 23 April to mark the young royal's seventh birthday. Prince George, William and Kate's eldest child and the second in line to the throne after his father, will turn 12 on 22 July.

This week, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited the Isle of Mull in Scotland to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary. Meanwhile, the King recently reflected on his "frightening" experience of cancer after a difficult year for the Royal Family, which has included Kate undergoing treatment following her own diagnosis.
