Princess Charlotte has embarked on her first day of nursery, celebrating with two photographs taken by her proud mother.
The Duchess of Cambridge has released photographs of her 2-year-old daughter beaming with excitement; tiny backpack ready for her first day.
Wearing a mulberry-coloured coat, pink scarf and smart red shoes, the Princess has her hair carefully pinned back ready for a hard day's playing.
Kensington Palace said the two photographs were taken by the Duchess shortly before Princess Charlotte left for her first day at Willcocks Nursery School.
