These Gorgeous New Photos of Princess Charlotte Show Just How Fast She's Growing Up

The British royal family released new photos of Princess Charlotte on Sunday, just one day before her first birthday. The pictures, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge in April, are the most recent ones we've seen of the little princess, and she's growing up so fast! Dressed in a selection of pretty dresses and cardigans with an array of cute hair accessories, Charlotte is photographed both inside and around the grounds of the family home in Norfolk. "We hope everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as we do," Kensington Palace wrote on Twitter.

The new photos come just one day after we first saw pictures of Charlotte's mum, the Duchess of Cambridge, on the cover of British Vogue, yet another addition to a very busy season for the royal family. Following Kate and Prince William's tour of India and Bhutan last month, they celebrated the Queen's 90th birthday, introduced Prince George to President Obama, and enjoyed their 5th wedding anniversary. We thought we'd had our fill of royal moments for a while, but these new pictures of Charlotte are the very best kind of added bonus!
