A new picture of Princess Charlotte enjoying the outdoors, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge, has been released ahead of her second birthday.

Prince William and his wife Kate said they are "delighted" to share the photograph to mark their only daughter's special day on Tuesday.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have followed a trend they set with their daughter's first birthday and given royal fans a new image of the toddler princess.

She is pictured at their Norfolk home Anmer Hall, wearing a yellow cardigan, decorated with images of sheep, while she sports a navy clip in her hair.

In a statement 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 during the past year she has only been seen in public on a handful of occasions.
