PRINCESS Charlotte's fourth birthday has been marked by the release of three pictures taken by her mother.

The princess, who is fourth in line to the throne, was photographed by the Duchess of Cambridge at Kensington Palace and Kate's Norfolk home of Anmer Hall.

In the first picture Charlotte, who turned four on Thursday, is pictured in a summer dress as she sits crossed legged on a patch of grass at the palace.

Just last week, the 37-year-old duchess released snaps of her youngest son Louis to mark his first birthday.

Kate is a keen and accomplished amateur photographer who has lifetime honorary membership of the Royal Photographic Society which recognised her ‘talent and enthusiasm’.

She bucked tradition when she took the official photographs of newborn daughter Charlotte in 2015.

The photos of Charlotte showed the young princess being cradled by George at William and Kate's Norfolk home.

Kate, a history of art graduate, has released pictures to mark other milestones in her children's lives, including George and Charlotte's first days at nursery school and Charlotte's first birthday.
