The royal family rings in Princess Charlotte’s birthday with 3 portraits
- by Elsie Taylor
After marking Prince Louis’ first birthday with never-seen-before pictures, the royal family shares new portraits of Princess Charlotte to celebrate her fourth
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby may not have arrived yet, but royal watchers have something to tide them over—three new portraits of Princess Charlotte.
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share three new photographs of Princess Charlotte ahead of her fourth birthday tomorrow,” Kensington Palace wrote in a statement. “The photographs were taken in April by the duchess at Kensington Palace and at their home in Norfolk.”
Two of the photos show the princess enjoying the outdoors. In one, she leans against a fence, smiling sweetly in a gray sweater as tree branches dangle in the background. In another, she laughs while holding a daffodil.
In a third, she sits in the grass, wearing a blue floral dress and matching shoes. Her hair is adorned with a navy ribbon.
The portraits come a little over a week after new photos of Prince Louis were released for his first birthday. Those were taken in Norfolk, at their home of Anmer Hall, as well.
Their country estate is the site of many important photographic family milestones—the Cambridge family Christmas card was also taken on the Anmer Hall grounds.
