KENSINGTON Palace thanked members of the public for their birthday messages to Princess Charlotte as the royal youngster celebrated turning three yesterday.

Charlotte, who is getting used to being a big sister to Prince Louis, marked her big day privately with her family.

The palace tweeted: “Wishing a happy third birthday to Princess Charlotte — thank you all for your lovely messages!”

The royal family’s Twitter account was among those congratula­ting the princess, saying: “Wishing HRH Princess Charlotte a very Happy 3rd Birthday!”

Other messages came from the Goring Hotel, where Charlotte’s mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, spent the night before her wedding in 2011.

The luxury hotel in central London tweeted: “She stole our hearts last week waving from the steps and now we are celebratin­g her birthday — The Goring wishes Princess Charlotte a Very

Birthday girl: Princess Charlotte

Happy 3rd Birthday!”

No official photograph has been released to mark the occasion as Charlotte has only just been seen in public.

She delighted royal fans by waving and leading her father up the steps of the Lindo Wing when she was taken to meet her new sibling for the first time last week.

Charlotte is expected to take a starring role as flower girl or bridesmaid when her uncle Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle in just over two weeks’ time.
