Princess Charlotte of Cambridge is turning 1 year old on Monday, and her family are celebrating it with the world by sharing new images of the youngest British royal.

Mum Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, took the four photos of the adorable tyke in her signature cardigans. The photos were taken in April at their home in Norfolk and were shared Sunday by the Kensington Palace.

“The Duke and Duchess are happy to be able to share these family moments, ahead of their daughter’s first birthday,” the Kensington Palace said in a statement, referring to parents Kate and Prince William. “We hope that everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as we do.”

In the photos, Charlotte is seen using a toy to move around the garden. She is wearing a pink dress with matching sweater and small hair clip. There is also a close-up image of Charlotte wearing the same outfit. The other two photos see the baby princess wearing a blue dress with white sweater and blue hair clip.

The chubby-cheeked sister of Prince George was last seen in public on her christening day in July. That was also the first time the family of four were seen together. Kate, whose love of photography started even before she joined the royal family in 2011, also took the photos of her children that were made public. She released the photos of six-month-old Charlotte in November, as well as the images of George on his first day of school in January.

Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born on May 2 last year to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. She is the fourth in line to succeed Queen Elizabeth II, after grandfather Prince Charles, dad William and elder brother George.

Last month, Charlotte helped celebrate “Gan-Gan” Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday. She is seen sitting on the Queen’s lap in a portrait with George and their young cousins.
