The Princess – whose full name is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge – was born on May 2 weighing 8lbs 3oz at St Mary’s Hospital in London.

Following the birth, the Duchess, 33 and her husband Prince William, 32, travelled to their Norfolk property with their 22-month-old son George to spend time together as a new family of four.
