Princess Charlotte has been photographed smiling ahead of her eighth birthday.
The young princess was photographed grinning in a white dress with flowers on it by her mother, the Princess of Wales Kate, in Windsor this weekend.
The family will be centre stage at the King’s coronation on May 6, with Charlotte and her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, expected to watch their grandfather be crowned.
The princess is set to accompany her siblings in the procession from Westminster Abbey which will follow the King’s coronation, according to reports.
Charlotte is the second child of the Prince and Princess of Wales and is the sister of George, nine, and Louis, five.
Prince George will be one of eight Pages of Honour during the service, joining a procession through the nave and assisting with the holding of robes.
The trio will also be expected on the Buckingham Palace balcony afterwards.
The family live in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor’s Home Park and Charlotte attends the private Lambrook School near Ascot in Berkshire alongside her brothers.
Last month, a smiling Louis was photographed being pushed in a wheelbarrow by his mother Kate ahead of his fifth birthday.
Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge was born in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, at 8.34am on May 2 2015, weighing 8lbs 3oz.
She is a great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria and is third in line to the throne.
