Kate Middleton Shares New Photos of Princess Charlotte to Celebrate Her 5th Birthday

From Good Housekeeping

Princess Charlotte turns five tomorrow, and ahead of the milestone birthday, Kate Middleton and Prince William have shared a series of new portraits of their only daughter.

The pictures, which were taken by Kate in April, show the young royal on the Sandringham estate, where, according to Kensington Palace, "the family helped to pack up and deliver food packages for isolated pensioners in the local area."

Princess Charlotte is currently social distancing with her family, who are believed to be staying at their country house Anmer Hall during the coronavirus crisis.

Like many children her age, Charlotte is being homeschooled while the UK is on lockdown, an endeavor her mother admits can be "challenging."

"The children have got such stamina," Kate told the BBC in a recent interview. "You pitch a tent, take the tent down again, cook, bake. You get to the end of the day—they've had a lovely time, but it's amazing how much you can cram into a day, that's for sure."

In addition to her school work, and adventures in baking, Charlotte has also been keeping in touch with her relatives via video call.

"I think your father and my parents and our families and things like that have really loved keeping in touch with the children, because they know it’s really hard," Kate said, acknowledging that "it gets a bit hectic, I’m not going to lie, with the two-year-old [Prince Louis]."

William agreed, confirming that Prince Louis often hangs up on the calls, perhaps before they're over.

"For some reason he sees the red button, and always wants to press the red button," he said.
