Princess Charlotte at 6 months seen in photos taken by Duchess of Cambridge

Kensington Palace has released new official photos of Princess Charlotte at six months, one of which shows her elation over a fuzzy toy dog. The images were taken by her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Images snapped earlier this month, released by Kensington Palace today

Kensington Palace used Twitter on Sunday to release two new official photos of Princess Charlotte, images taken by her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The photos of the six-month-old princess were taken earlier this month in Norfolk at the home of her parents, Prince William and Catherine.

"The Duke and Duchess hope everyone enjoys these new photos of Princess Charlotte as much as they do," the palace says in its Twitter feed.

The two official images are the first released by the couple since their daughter was christened in July.

In both photos, Charlotte is seen sitting in a comfy chair. One of the images shows her laughing as she plays with a fuzzy toy dog.

The princess was born on May 2 and is fourth in line to the throne.
