Princess Charlotte beams ahead of her seventh birthday on Monday as she cuddles her family’s beloved black cocker spaniel Orla.
The stunning smiling photograph was taken by the Duchess of Cambridge herself while the family were staying in Norfolk last weekend. Kate Middleton stayed up late on Sunday night as part of her tradition in celebrating birthdays by baking her children their own cake, as reported by the Express.
The duchess revealed her long-standing tradition in 2019 when she and husband Prince William appeared on a special BBC programme with baking expert Mary Berry called A Berry Royal Christmas. On the show, she spoke of her love for baking and told Mary that when it comes to her children’s birthdays: “I love making the cake.”
