In a statement, Kensington Palace said "The Duke and Duchess continue to receive warm messages about Princess Charlotte from all around the world and they hope that everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as they do."

Kate is an accomplished amateur photographer and took a joint portrait of her children George, aged two, and Charlotte a few weeks after her daughter was born on 2 May.

In the newly-released pictures, Charlotte, who is fourth in line to the throne, is believed to be wearing a pink cashmere cardigan over a Liberty print dress with a frilly collar.
