Smiling Princess Charlotte’s 9th Birthday Pic Shared By Royal Family Amid Photo Editing Controversy
Princess Charlotte sported a darling smile as she posed for a picture, ringing in her 9th birthday.
As the little princess flashed her radiant smile, it was none other than her mother, Kate Middleton, standing behind the camera.
Charlotte stands third in line to the British throne after her father, Prince William, and her brother, 10-year-old Prince George. Her younger brother, Prince Louis, 6, comes next in line after Princess Charlotte, whose last single-digit birthday was marked on May 2, 2024.

“Happy 9th Birthday, Princess Charlotte!” read the caption as the Instagram handle for Kate and William shared the picture of the princess.
“Thank you for all of the kind messages today,” the message added.
Fans and well-wishers of the royal family gushed with love and showered the little royal with praise on her special day.
“Such a gorgeous wee girl! Such a perfect mix of William & Catherine! Hope she has a lovely day,” said one comment, while another wrote, “Happy birthday dear Princess Charlotte. Such a beautiful photo taken by your very talented mother. Have a wonderful day!”
“Happy Birthday Princess Charlotte! nine is such a wonderful age to be xxx,” said another comment.
The Princess of Wales, who recently announced her cancer diagnosis, reportedly has an adorable nickname for Charlotte, born Charlotte Elizabeth Diana on 2 May 2015.
Lottie is what her mother calls her, according to Mirror.

When she was younger, the little princess also had other nicknames that complemented her spirited nature.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl said she was called “Warrior Princess” because of her love for adventures.
“Apparently she earned that nickname because obviously she is a princess but she is quite a tomboy,” Katie told ET in 2019. “She loves climbing trees and she’s very much an adventurer.”
Princess Kate herself once spoke about her daughter and her adorable “feisty side.”
“Oh, she is very cute but she has got quite a feisty side!” she said during celebrations marking Queen Elizabeth’s official 90th birthday in 2016.

The Princess of Wales also joked, at the time, that she was counting on her two sons to keep her daughter in line, according to People.
“She said, ‘Oh, she is very cute but she has got quite a feisty side!’ I then asked her about George and she said he was a really lovely little boy. She said she hopes that George will keep Charlotte in order!” attendee Glynis Double was quoted telling reporters.
The birthday portrait of Princess Charlotte, celebrating nine years around the sun, came in the wake of the photo-editing controversy involving the British royal family. Earlier this year, several news agencies removed a Mother’s Day photograph of Princess Kate and her children, citing concerns over potential manipulation.
The image not only commemorated Mother’s Day but was also the first official photograph of Princess Kate shared with the public after she underwent abdominal surgery in January

News agencies pulled down the photograph after reporting that the image had apparent errors.
The Princess of Wales eventually apologized and took responsibility for having the official photograph edited.
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” she said on Twitter, addressing the controversy.
Fans flooded the comments section with birthday wishes for Princess Charlotte

The title of the article is very odd, why mentioning toyal photo edit. Just a poor click bait try seeking attention (here more clicking) by creating nonsense scandals and chaos even while sharing positive news. We should be able not to fall into such cheesy approach, and still get higher interest, BP and all content creators should do this more, please Binitha. Thank you
