Kate Middleton & Prince William Unveil *Another* Bday Portrait of Princess Charlotte (This Time with the Family Dog)

In honor of Princess Charlotte’s 8th birthday, her parents, Kate Middleton, 41, and Prince William, 40, treated royally-obsessed fans to not one, but two brand-new portraits of the bday girl. 

Today, the Prince and Princess of Wales posted another birthday portrait of their daughter on their joint Instagram account (this new pic came after they released a separate portrait of their daughter yesterday—more on that in a minute).

In today’s celebratory snap, the royal princess is wearing a blue-and-white striped sweater while surrounded by flowers. But, what makes this photo different from yesterday's is that the young royal is joined by the family pet, Orla. (FYI, the princess posed alongside the pup in her birthday portrait last year.)

In the caption, the royal pair personally wrote a message to royal admirers, saying, “Thank you for all the birthday wishes,” and proceeded to tag the person behind the lens, Millie Pilkington. And if you didn’t already know, she is the same professional photographer who snapped the birthday portrait for Prince Louis’s 5th birthday last month.

As we mentioned, yesterday, the married couple also shared a never-before-seen photo of Princess Charlotte on Instagram. In advance of her eighth birthday, the portrait (taken by Princess Catherine) shows her looking like a carbon copy of her parents while smiling widely and wearing a white floral dress.

The caption read, “Wishing Princess Charlotte a very happy birthday! 8 tomorrow [balloon emoji] [cake emoji].”

Happy birthday, Princess Charlotte! (And keep the pics coming, Kate and Will!)
