Princess Charlotte cuddles brother Louis in first official royal photos

Princess Charlotte has been pictured lovingly holding her newborn baby brother Prince Louis in the first official royal photos of the tot.

Kensington Palace released two adorable pictures, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge herself, just days after she gave birth to her third baby. Charlotte is seen kissing Louis’ forehead while he lays asleep in her arms.

It’s a moving reflection of a similar photo of her lying in her brother Prince George’s arms three years ago.

The Palace wrote: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, taken by The Duchess at Kensington Palace.‬

“‪This image was taken on 2nd May, on Princess Charlotte’s third Birthday.‬ ‪The Duke and Duchess would like to thank members of the public for their kind messages following the birth of Prince Louis, and for Princess Charlotte’s third birthday.‬”

Another photo shows Louis wide awake and staring up in an all-white outfit, and fans have already flooded the two photos with comments as they react to the sweet baby.

Charlotte celebrated her third birthday just days ago, and it seems she has taken to being an older sister like a complete natural.

She managed to steal the show alongside older brother Prince George when they first met their sibling in the hospital.

The adorable princess was every bit the proud sister as she arrived at the Lindo Wing with her father, Prince William, and brother, Prince George, to meet her new sibling. William had been with his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, throughout the delivery of their new son, and later ducked home to fetch his two eldest children so they could check up on mum and meet their new brother. 

The doting dad couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he walked hand-in-hand with his children as they made their way into the hospital. While the sight of the three of them together was enough to send the waiting crowd cheering, it was Charlotte’s adorable wave to well-wishers that melted hearts. Even Britain’s steely jawed reporters waiting in the press area couldn’t resist letting out an “awww” when she turned around on the hospital steps to offer a shy smile and a wave goodbye. 

Her little royal moment in the sun sent social media users into meltdown as they commented how “cute” the little princess was – and how much she appears to take after her great-grandmother, the Queen.

Despite her young years one user commented that “Charlotte is a queen in the making”. Another said the princess was “so adorable” adding: “I love how Prince George is still a little shy but Princess Charlotte waves at the cameras.”

A third wrote: “How cute is princess Charlotte working the camera!”
