Royal Family Shares Adorable Photos Of Princess Charlotte To Mark Her First Birthday

Happy birthday, Princess Charlotte!

The British royal family on Sunday released four brand-new photographs of the princess, to mark her turning 1 on Monday.

The adorable pictures were taken by her mom, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, at Anmer Hall -- the family's 10-bedroom country house on Queen Elizabeth II 's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England.

In one of the shots posted to Twitter by Kensington Palace , the royal baby looks pensively into the distance with a bow in her hair: 

In another, she is captured playing out in the garden.

A third photograph shows her staring at the camera, while in the fourth she props herself up on a wooden chair.

"We hope that everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as we do," Kensington Palace wrote on Twitter.

We've watched the princess grow in a series of adorable photos released by Kensington Palace over the last year.

Pictures from March showed the princess playing in the snow with her older brother, Prince George , during a family skiing holiday in the French Alps.

The palace also released a set of equally cute images  ahead of her turning 7 months old in November.

She was photographed alongside Prince George  in June, when she was just 1 month old.

And Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino photographed Princess Charlotte's christening in July.
