The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released a photograph of Princess Charlotte playing outside ahead of her second birthday.

William and Kate, who took the picture, said they were “delighted” to share it to mark their daughter’s birthday on Tuesday.

The photo shows Charlotte at Anmer Hall, their home in Norfolk, wearing a yellow cardigan featuring images of sheep, with a navy clip in her hair.

Kensington Palace said: “The Duke and Duchess are very pleased to share this photograph as they celebrate Princess Charlotte’s second birthday.

“Their royal highnesses would like to thank everyone for all of the lovely messages they have received and hope that everyone enjoys this photograph of Princess Charlotte as much as they do.”

Charlotte’s privacy has been carefully guarded by her parents and she has only been seen in public on a handful of occasions during the past year.

Charlotte’s first birthday was marked with the release of four official photographs by her parents.
