Wishing Princess Charlotte a very happy 9th birthday!

Her Royal Highness is pictured here at the coronation of Their Majesties The King and Queen in the Abbey last year.

Princess Charlotte turns nine today - how time has flown! A few memories from my phone over the years (and we are expecting a new birthday portrait later today) 🎈
