Kensington Palace released a new family portrait of the Cambridge family today which will serve as their official 2020 Christmas card. The photograph, taken by Matt Porteous, shows The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis sitting on haystacks in front of firewood.

Princess Charlotte, along with her siblings, Prince George and Prince Louis made their first ever red carpet appearance on Friday evening. 

The royal trio joined their parents, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for a special performance of The National Lottery’s Pantoland at The London Palladium.

Princess Charlotte wore a Nicoletta Fanna 'Sveva' Dress in Brown and Navy Checks (£75), paired with navy tights and patent leather Mary Jane flats.

The Cambridge children have appeared in a video asking Sir David Attenborough questions about ​extinction, spiders and the naturalist’s favourite animals.

This is the first time the voices of the young royals have been heard in public.  Seven-year-old Prince George, five-year-old Princess Charlotte and two-year old Prince Louis asked the 94-year-old broadcaster questions about the natural world.

Princess Charlotte wore her Thomas’s Battersea school uniform in the footage recorded at Kensington Palace last month.

Princess Charlotte and her siblings meet the great Sir David Attenbourouh earlier in the week. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared photographs of the encounter, taken after Prince William and Sir David attended an outdoor screening of Attenborough’s upcoming feature film.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a series of pictures of The Duke with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to mark Prince William's 38th birthday on 21 June. 

The picture was taken earlier this month by The Duchess.

In the photos, Princess Charlotte wore blue John Lewis Embroidered Dungaree Shorts (£20.00). Made from pure cotton for a soft finish, these dungaree shorts are embroidered with fun animal and flower designs. 

The dungarees were teamed with a striped Boden Short-Sleeved Pointelle Top in College Blue/ Ivory (US$18).

On Charlotte's feet were her Hampton 'Plum' Rosa Canvas Shoes.

In celebration of her fifth birthday, Kensington Palace released four photographs of Princess Charlotte. 

The images were taken by her mother, The Duchess of Cambridge as the family helped to pack up and deliver food packages for isolated pensioners in the local area of Sandringham.

Kensington Palace later released another photo in appreciation of the well wishes received from the public on the occasion of Charlotte's birthday.

In the photos, Princess Charlotte wore a Zara Houndstooth Puritan Collar Dress.  The houndstooth print dress has a playful Peter Pan collar top with long sleeves and buttoned cuffs. Button closure at yoke and ruching at waist. 

The tights appear to be the dark grey Amaia ribbed tights.

Below is a look back at Princess Charlotte's past official birthday portraits.

Princess Charlotte joined her siblings and parents this evening for the weekly “Clap for Carers” campaign in a special television appearance on the BBC this evening.

Tonight's appearance on the BBC also saw Prince William make his acting debut as he joined Stephen Fry for a lighthearted comedy sketch in support of The Big Night In appeal. The family later appear from their home in Norfolk with Princess Charlotte leading the clapping as she exists the door.

The Cambridge family were all dressed in blue in tribute to the NHS. Charlotte wore a sky blue ditsy floral printed smock dress by Italian brand Malvi & Co. (ID by What Kate's Kids Wore). 

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis joined in the national clapping for Britain’s NHS workers. The Cambridge children were filmed clapping by their parents at their Norfolk home.

Charlotte wore a striped long sleeve t-shirt and leggings by Jojo Maman Bebe.

She wore the brand's Kids' Breton Stripe Long Sleeve Top in navy (£12) and solid navy Essential Leggings (£16).

Princess Charlotte joined her big brother, Prince George, and her parents, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for the traditional Christmas Day service at St.  Mary Magadelene's Church.

This is the first time the Cambridge children attended the royal yuletide service on the Queen's estate in Norfolk.

The last time we saw Charlotte on Christmas Day was in 2016 when the Cambridges celebrated Christmas with the Middleton family in Bucklebury. 

Below is a sweet photo of Charlotte curtsying to Her Majesty.

Following the service, the Cambridges chatted with well-wishers who had gathered outside the church to catch a glimpse of the royal family.

Earlier in the day, Kensington Palace shared a new photo of the Cambridge children with their dad to wish all their followers a Merry Christmas.  This photograph of The Duke of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was taken by The Duchess of Cambridge in Norfolk earlier this year.

In the photo, the princess wore her navy Gap hooded puffer jacket with a ditsy floral skirt/dress and solid leggings with gumboots.

The Cambridge clan gathered with extended Royal family members today for the Queen's annual pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace. 

The lunch was a private family affair but photographers managed to get some snaps of the guests as they entered the gates of the Palace. Princess Charlotte was spotted en route to the Palace in the back seat alongside Prince Louis with her mum, the Duchess of Cambridge at the wheel.

Prince William and Prince George arrived in a separate car.

Following the lunch, the family left together in one car.

The young princess wore a dress by Little Alice London. It is the brand's 'Nutcracker' style (£68) featuring a blue tartan print and trimmed with burgundy velvet.
