To mark Princess Charlotte's fifth birthday, Prince William and Kate Middleton released four new photographs of their only daughter on May 1. The photographs were taken the previous month by the Duchess of Cambridge on the Sandringham Estate, where the family helped to pack up and deliver food packages for isolated pensioners in the local area during the coronavirus pandemic. The Instagram post on the Kensington Royal account read, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share four new photographs of Princess Charlotte ahead of her fifth birthday tomorrow."
