The photograph was released as part of a now 10-year-old tradition set by the Wales family, in which they share an image of their children to mark their birthdays.
The Princess of Wales was upset by the controversy surrounding the family’s Mother’s Day portrait, which she admitted had been edited at home before its release.
Since then, the family has chosen not to share such images with news and picture agencies in advance.
Instead, as they did for Prince Louis’s 6th birthday on April 23, they have shared the birthday photograph directly via social media.
In the latest image, Princess Charlotte is wearing the same cardigan she wore in the Mother’s Day portrait.
The Prince and Princess have often sought to dress their children in the same clothes in an effort to avoid undue focus on their fashion choices.
Third in line to the throne, Charlotte attends the co-educational private Lambrook School near Ascot in Berkshire and loves dancing, especially ballet and tap.
She has a reputation for being feisty compared with her elder brother Prince George. Her mother once admitted that her daughter was “the one in charge”.
The youngster was spotted reminding George to bow to the coffin of their late great-grandmother, Elizabeth II, at her state funeral, and she kept Prince Louis in check during Trooping the Colour by placing her hand over his to calm his over-enthusiastic waving to the crowds from the carriage.
