Since being welcomed into the world at 8:34 am on 2 May, royal watchers everywhere have been eager to share in the joy of Charlotte's arrival. Less than 10 hours after she gave birth, the Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, stepped out with Prince William on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington to present her new baby to the waiting media and fans.Similarly to when they welcomed Prince George Wiliam and Kate were keen to retreat away from London and spent four days at their residence in the captial, Kensington Palace.

Proud grandfather Michael Middleton later joined the gorup of proud relations.Granddad Charles, who visited Charlotte twice in three days shortly after her birth, has voiced his joy at having a granddaughter.

William and Kate headed to the Duchess's home town of Bucklebury in Berkshire when George was born, where it was proud grandfather Michael Middleton who captured the newborn Prince's first official photos.This time they have chosen the Norfolk home to be their base, after renovating it extensively over the past year.It is therefore somewhat doubtful that Michael will take Princess Charlotte's first official pictures, although royal fans will more likely be hoping they don't have to wait too long to see new images of the little Princess, rather than wondering who will be behind the lens.
