The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge marked Princess Charlotte’s seventh birthday by sharing a new portrait of her on their official Instagram account, @dukeandduchessofcambridge. In the first image, Charlotte poses with the family s pet spaniel, Orla, while in the second she sits in a field of bluebells, her sweater well-matched to the flowers.
The new images were taken in Norfolk this past weekend, just near the family s country home, Anmer Hall, which is located on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. The photographer in question? None other than Kate Middleton, who has long nurtured a passion for photography and often takes the family’s portraits.
The Cambridges typically release annual photos to mark Prince Louis, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte’s birthdays. The latest were images of Prince Louis for his fourth: He was photographed by Middleton while running along the sand on the beach in Norfolk. For his eighth birthday, Prince George was snapped on the hood of a Land Rover, as an ode to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh—George’s grandfather who had a notable devotion to the car.
