Kensington Palace shared new photos of Princess Charlotte before her first birthday on May 2.

These photos of the daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton were taken in April at Anmer Hall, the Norfolk home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the palace said in a statement on Sunday.

Earlier this month, the youngster and her two-year-old brother Prince George appeared in an Annie Leibovitz [portrait](http://time.com/4302660/princess-charlotte-queen-elizabeth-annie-liebovitz-portrait/), sitting on the lap of her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest reigning monarch, who posed with her seven youngest grandchildren and great-grandchildren as part of her 90th birthday celebration.
