“Happy Birthday Princess Charlotte!” read a series of social media posts from the official accounts of Prince William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “Thank you for the lovely messages for Princess Charlotte’s fourth birthday!”

Like the series of new photos of Prince Louis released last week ahead of his first birthday, the Charlotte images were taken by the Duchess in April.

The photographs come amid anticipation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first child, which was expected late April or early May.

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

The photographs were taken in April by The Duchess at Kensington Palace and at
