Kate Middleton Shows Off Adorable Princess Charlotte Photos on Daughter’s First Birthday – Resembles Princess Diana

Kate Middleton wowed Brits and fans of the royals around the world when she shared adorable photos of Princess Charlotte in honor of her first birthday

Kate Middleton wowed Brits and fans of the royals around the world when she shared adorable photos of Princess Charlotte in honor of her first birthday which is on Monday May 2. The pics were taken by Kate at the Anmer home she shares with Prince William in Norfolk.

Kate Middleton shared four pics of the adorable nearly one-year-old Princess Charlotte in the house and outside their home frolicking. Charlotte was shown in two cute outfits – both cotton dresses with little wooly sweaters.

In two of the pics, she’s in a pale blue dress with blue tights and a cream colored sweater that barely comes down to her chubby little wrists. With the blue dress, she wears a royal blue hair bow. In the other pics, she’s wearing a pink dress, pink sweater and pink tights.

In all the photos, Prince Charlotte is wearing blue Mary Jane type leather shoes. In only one of the photos is the adorable tot smiling broadly – in the others she’s shown looking content and calm. She looks a lot like her grandmother Princess Diana in the photos at the same age.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been cautious about allowing Princess Charlotte to be seen by the public and the glimpses of her have been via official photos rather than personal appearances and they seem to be wisely shielding her.

What Kensington Palace did share, in addition to these photos by HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, is a list of gifts the almost-toddler has received over the past year. When President and Michelle Obama visited the UK a week ago, they only met Prince George, but left an early birthday gift for the Princess.

The Obamas left a jigsaw puzzle and a stuffed animal version of their family dog Bo for Princess Charlotte. The littlest royals were even on President Obama’s mind when he spoke at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

Obama joked that he knew he was a lame duck president because little Prince George greeted him in a bathrobe because he wasn’t impressed with the outgoing POTUS and Obama jokingly called it a breach of protocol.

When Kate Middleton shared the adorable pics via the official Kensington Palace Instagram account, they added a caption on one of the photos that read: “We hope everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as we do.”

Another caption read: “The Duke and Duchess are very happy to be able to share these important family moments, ahead of their daughter’s first birthday.” The photos are adorable but what’s most interesting about them is the obvious family resemblance to her namesake Princess Diana.

What do you think about these adorable photos of Princess Charlotte and are you impressed with Kate Middleton’s photography skills? Did you notice the family dog bounding in the background of the outdoor photo?
