Princess Charlotte

A true princess – and mummy’s little helper!

Little Charlotte Elizabeth Diana is growing up in front of our very eyes, and today the little princess is turning five!

And to mark the occasion, her proud parents have released these four brand new photographs of their little girl – all taken by the Duchess of Cambridge herself.

In a post on Instagram account, Kensington Palace revealed that the pictures of Princess Charlotte were taken earlier this week as she helped her parents deliver home-made pasta to vulnerable Norfolk residents isolated by the coronavirus crisis and the current lockdown situation.

According to the Daily Mail, the entire family helped out with a local initiative started by the monarch’s staff, who have been preparing and delivering meals for pensioners and the vulnerable in the area during the lockdown.

Around 1,000 meals were dispensed in the first week alone, and the scheme has been running for five weeks so far.

This time the Cambridges, all keen cooks, rustled up some home-made pasta which they separated into 12 large bags and tied up with raffia to add to the food parcels. Sources said all the children – even little Louis, two – were involved.

The full Instagram post from Kensington Royal reads:

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share four new photographs of Princess Charlotte ahead of her fifth birthday tomorrow.

The images were taken by The Duchess as the family helped to pack up and deliver food packages for isolated pensioners in the local area.”
