Princess Charlotte's fifth birthday celebrated with adorable picture captured by Kate Middleton

A new photograph of Princess Charlotte has been released by Kensington Palace to mark her fifth birthday.

The picture was captured by Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, the palace said on Saturday.

The palace tweeted: "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 photograph was taken by Kate (Kensington Palace)

Pictures released earlier show Charlotte volunteering with her parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and brothers Prince George and Prince Louis.

The princess is shown in two photographs holding white bags of fresh food for pensioners shielding themselves due to the coronavirus outbreak or other vulnerable people in lockdown in Norfolk.

In another image she knocks on the door of an elderly resident as she holds a bag of fresh pasta which William, Kate and their children spent several hours making the day before the delivery.

Over the past five weeks, the Queen’s Sandringham staff have been preparing and delivering meals for pensioners and vulnerable people living in the local area, Buckingham Palace has said.

The birthday girl’s full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge.

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