A new photograph of Princess Charlotte has been released to celebrate her 2nd birthday.

The picture was taken by her mum, Kate Middleton, and was shared on Kensington Palace's social media networks to mark the anniversary.

The young princess is seen wearing a yellow cardigan with a sheep pattern, standing in the garden at their family home in Norfolk.

The picture was captioned with a thank you message from Wills and Kate:

"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."

Releasing a new birthday photo has become an annual tradition. Last year the palace shared new images to celebrate both Charlotte and her older brother Prince George's big days.

Happy birthday Princess Charlotte!
