New photographs of Princess Charlotte, taken by her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, at their home in Norfolk, have been released to mark her first birthday.  The pictures offer a glimpse of how the princess, who will be one on Monday, has grown since a snapshot of a family skiing holiday was released in March.  One of the photos shows Charlotte in a pink cardigan with a white collar, worn over a soft pink floral dress, as she sits on the floor at home.

A third photograph shows her leaning on a wooden chair, this time wearing a cream cardigan over a blue dress with a blue ribbon clip in her hair. A final photograph shows Charlotte’s startling resemblance to George as she clambers on a wicker chair, playfully glancing back towards the camera.  A spokeswoman for Prince William and Kate said: “The duke and duchess are very happy to be able to share these important family moments and hope that everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as they do.”  Charlotte’s privacy has been guarded by her family and during the past year she has only been seen in public on one other occasion, her christening.  Pictures of the young royal have also been rare, with only a handful photographs released since her birth. They include a group picture with the Queen’s other great-grandchildren and youngest grandchildren to mark the monarch’s 90th birthday.
