Charlotte, the little princess, looks just like her father

- IANS AND LIFESTYLE REPORTER

NEW PHOTOS have been released to mark the fifth birthday of Princess Charlotte, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s second born, showing her delivering home-made care packages to those in need during the coronaviru­s crisis.

The four photos of Charlotte, who was born at the private maternity Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London on May 2,

2015, were taken last month by her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, a keen amateur photograph­er, the

BBC reported.

On closer inspection, the little princess bears a striking resemblanc­e to her father, Prince William.

The duchess, who is a patron of the Royal Photograph­ic Society, has regularly released pictures she has taken of George, six, and Louis, two, to mark their birthdays.

“Thank you for all your lovely messages on Princess Charlotte’s fifth birthday! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share a new photograph of Princess Charlotte, taken by The Duchess this April,” the royal family said.

Charlotte joined her parents and brothers George and Louis to make the deliveries, probably to be close to the family home of Anmer Hall, on the queen’s Sandringha­m estate.

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

In the photos released on Friday night, she is seen picking up white bags of food for pensioners who are shielding from the virus or other vulnerable people in lockdown in Norfolk.

The family spent several hours making fresh pasta before delivering it, said the BBC report.
