Kate Middleton shares adorbs pics of Princess Charlotte

If, like us, you've been struggling to get back into work mode after that glorious May bank holiday, let us soothe your woes with some baby photos. But not just any baby photos; Princess Charlotte photos, released by the Duchess herself (Kate Middleton) to celebrate her first birthday (erm, Charlotte's not Kate's).

The most famous baby girl in all the land (sorry, North West, but you're a legitimate toddler now), fans of the Royal family have been craving some photo action from the youngest Royal since she was born one year ago, however, being a baby, she's probably been too busy gurgling and pulling at her brother's hair to be concerned with your needs. And testament to Kate's growing skill with a camera, these snaps weren't taken by a professional but by the mummy herself. Nawww.

She looks so like her brother George, doesn't she? Their spokesperson released a statement to The Daily Mail: "The Duke and Duchess are delighted to share new photographs of Princess Charlotte. The Duchess took these pictures of her daughter in April at their home in Norfolk. The Duke and Duchess are happy to be able to share these family moments, ahead of their daughter’s first birthday. We hope that everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as we do."
