In a snap taken by her mum, Princess Charlotte beams as she hugs her pet dog. The young royal celebrates her seventh birthday today (May 2) and was snapped by the Duchess of Cambridge in Norfolk this weekend enjoying the outdoors.
The youngster was photographed with her arm around the family cocker spaniel surrounded by bluebells, Charlotte and pet dog Orla appear in one of three pictures released ahead of the princess turning seven on Monday. William and Kate's middle child is wearing her long hair loose around her shoulders and sporting a fine cable knit blue jumper which matches the colour of the flowers around her.
A white collar with dark dots completes the casual knitwear look. In the picture featuring Orla, the dog - who has a black shiny coat - is looking to its right while Charlotte grins towards the camera, holding flowers in her left hand.
