• Kate and Princess Charlotte look literally identical in a throwback from Kate's childhood.

The royal family is celebrating Prince William's birthday today (June 21!), and as is customary, released a slew of new pictures of William chilling with his kids on Instagram—which were taken earlier this month by Kate Middleton. Behold, the cuteness:

Love to see it.
