Four images released show Charlotte with her parents and big brother Prince George as well as the Queen, Philip, Charles, Camilla and the Middletons.

Kensington Palace said the family had a “wonderful day” and were “very happy to share these photographs and hope that everyone enjoys them as much as they do”.
