Princess Charlotte Beams with Joy in New Portrait for 8th Birthday

Princess Charlotte, the young royal, is all grown up and looking absolutely adorable in a recently released portrait, just in time for her 8th birthday.

The photograph, captured over the bank holiday weekend, shows Charlotte leaning back in a chair, radiating happiness from ear to ear.

Dressed in an elegant white dress, with her tousled hair framing her face, she embodies the perfect princess.

The picture was taken by her mother, the Princess of Wales, who is known for her passion for photography and often captures portraits of her children on special occasions.

It comes as no surprise that Charlotte's mother was the one behind the lens for this charming image.

The young princess has always been a favorite of hers, and it's easy to understand why.

Kensington Palace shared the image, stating, “The Prince and Princess of Wales are delighted to share a new photograph of Princess Charlotte ahead of her 8th birthday.”

The photo was taken in Windsor, where the Waleses currently reside at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor's Home Park.

Charlotte attends the private Lambrook School near Ascot in Berkshire, alongside her two brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis.

With so much happening in her life, it's no wonder she is grinning from ear to ear.

The release of the new portrait coincides with the upcoming king's coronation, scheduled to take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.

Charlotte is expected to join her brothers in the procession from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace after the ceremony.

It will undoubtedly be a day filled with excitement and grandeur, and Charlotte will undoubtedly be dressed in her finest attire.

The royal family has had a busy few weeks, with the recent celebration of Prince Louis' birthday.

The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photograph of their youngest son beaming in a wheelbarrow at their home.

It is evident that the young princes and princesses are all content, healthy, and full of vitality.

Charlotte, third in line to the throne, was born at the private maternity, Linda Wing of St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, central London, on May 2, 2015, at 8:34 am, weighing 8lb 3oz.

Her full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge, and she has already captured the hearts of people worldwide.

It is astonishing to witness how much Charlotte has grown and transformed over the years.

It feels like only yesterday that she made her debut on the steps of St. Mary's Hospital, wrapped in a cozy white blanket, observing the world with bright, curious eyes.

Now, she stands as a confident and poised young lady with a unique personality of her own.

As Princess Charlotte celebrates her eighth birthday, we can only imagine the remarkable things that lie ahead for her in the coming years.
