Three new pictures of Princess Charlotte have been released to mark her seventh birthday.

Taken by her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, they show her sitting among bluebells in a cable knit blue jumper that matches the colour of the flowers around her.

Charlotte, who celebrates her birthday on Monday, is seen in one of the pictures with her pet dog, Orla.

Orla is looking to her right while Charlotte grins towards the camera, holding flowers in her left hand.

In one of the other pictures Charlotte is sitting cross-legged, while in the third picture she is sitting with her arms around her knees.

Kate is a keen amateur photographer, and in 2017 accepted a lifetime honorary membership of the Royal Photographic Society, which recognised her “talent and enthusiasm”.

Princess Charlotte was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, central London, at 8.34am on 2 May 2015, weighing 8lb 3oz.

Her full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge.

Charlotte has been seen in public on two occasions recently.

She attended the Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor with her parents and brother Prince George on 17 April.

And on 29 March she was at Westminster Abbey, again with her parents and older brother, for the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service.
