The Duke and Duchess are expected to celebrate Princess Charlotte’s birthday with a small party at Anmer Hall with their friends who have children of a similar age. Charlotte looks so adorable in the new pictures released by the family, and I can not wait for the next few years when we’ll get to watch her grow up.
The royals released these images this morning on their Twitter account with the captions: “The Duke and Duchess are delighted to share new photographs of Princess Charlotte”.
The pictures of the Princess offer fresh snapshots of how the young princess has grown up during her first 12 months.
She also made an appearance in the Cambridges’ official Christmas card – a picture of William and Catherine crouching down with their children in the gardens of Kensington Palace.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Princess!
