[@Angieadeux]

Adorable till you find out she's photos hopped like the rest of her family 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Birthday, Princess Charlotte. ❤🎉🎂

[@alidabotes6264]

A very happy 9th birthday to our beautiful Princess Charlotte. 👸🎂🍭 🎈 🎁

[@barbarahansen626]

Amen.

[@lindaanderson4990]

Princess Charlotte is a beautiful combination of the late Queen Elizabeth and her father Prince William. Mannerisms of Princess Catherine and Princess Royal ❤ She's perfect in every way! ❤

[@Angieadeux]

Yes, it must've taken them hours to generate this one!

[@LC_from_MO]

Her boss girl attitude reminds me of Royal Princess Anne ❤

[@josabethmunoz4018]

​@@AngieadeuxPoor Megan you need attention 😅😅😅

[@Autigers2013]

Wow this comment is truly the most creepy one on here! You do know the evil Queen was a lizard demon? Wake up!

Happy Birthday beautiful little lady, Princess Charlotte! ❤

[@glenj56j12]

Happy Birthday to Princes Charlotte Thank you Princess Catherine for sharing a birthday photo

[@barbarahansen626]

I so agree. Thank you HRH Princess of Wales for sharing your wonderful pictures. God bless HRH Princess Catherine and Prince William and the British Royal Family. I just got chastised by someone on social media for calling her Princess Catherine because she is not of royal birth how nitpicky can people get? I was trying to be respectful. I know she is HRH Princess of Wales I respect and admire the British Royal Family and I pray for them everyday especially because of this difficult, challenging time they are undergoing because of these health concerns they are experiencing. God bless the British Royal Family.

[@Angieadeux]

It's probably fake like all the photos they've released of Kate. These people are a disgrace and a nuisance.

[@IanMcFerran]

Kate didn't share anything because she's been dead for months!

[@josabethmunoz4018]

​@@IanMcFerran😅😅😅 She's resting at home happily meanwhile you're loosing your head🤣😂

[@kayreeve.author]

She's an amazing young lady with more decorum than most adults. Happy birthday to Princess Charlotte.

What a beautiful family they are, God bless them all

[@Annie497]

I'm in the USA, but love the royal family (well, most of them, anyway!). Just by her smiles and her behaviors in the public make me adore this little Princess! She seems so sweet and joyful and always minds her manners. Prince and Princess of Wales have done a fabulous job in parenting their children! Happy Birthday sweet Princess Charlotte and well wishes to her beautiful mom and grandpa, as well. The other royals, including Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, joining Prince William in public duties have been joyful to watch as well. Loved Sophie's Abbey Road pose recently! Lady Louise is a beauty like her mother!

Happy 9th Birthday Wishes for Princess Charlotte. Hope your birthday is Special like you.❤

[@beabrown5778]

Why are you disrespectful to HRH Princess Catherine of Wales? Did you not get the memo that she does not like to be called “Kate” Also, the only have one daughter! How could you say their favourite daughter?

[@norfolkenchants8090]

Charlotte is the image of our late Queen Elizabeth

[@Hummingbird777]

Happy Birthday, Princess Charlotte! God bless you 🎂🎈🌸

[@user-uf1ed5rc5y]

And I have hidden in my heart, how many tears I see you leave my mind, I love you, Charlotte's death

[@coralynn231]

Not Princess Kate! PRINCESS CATHERINE OF WALES. Why are you so disrespectful?

[@jeannelipham2583]

No, actually, she is "Catherine, Princess of Wales." She is not and never will be "Princess Catherine" just as Diana was not "Princess Diana" or "Princess Di." As women without Royal Blood, they would never officially be princesses in their own right. If one calls her "Princess," the name following that would be "William." Generally, the accepted way in which to reference her is simply, "The Princess of Wales." I adore her, and I am sure it is frustrating to her to be called by incorrect titles.

[@user-oj1gn6yn5u]

God bless them all

[@Gaeliclass]

Charlotte is looking a little like William. Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

[@heatherinparis]

I agree! When she smiles she looks exactly like her father.
