Princess Charlotte shows she’s a royal mini-me in new birthday pictures looking just like her mum.

With the Princess of Wales’ signature wavy do, little Charlotte - who turns eight tomorrow - relaxes in a white wicker chair in a photograph taken by Kate in Windsor at the weekend.

The Princess has taken pictures of her children to celebrate major milestones from birthdays to school starts and proved to be a winner behind the lens.

The new pic was released a day after royal fans spotted never-before-seen images of doting grandfather King Charles with his two oldest grandchildren in a special BBC documentary.

The previously unseen photos that show Prince George and Princess Charlotte featured in the film Charles R: The Making of a Monarch, which aired on Monday.

The documentary charted the King's early years right up until his accession last year using a host archive footage and images.

The first showed Charles, in around 2016, playing with his granddaughter Charlotte, who is still just a baby.

Meanwhile, another shot shows him with future King George at a tea party thought to be in the same year, with Charles pointing out something of interest as the youngster clutches a glass of juice.

Another snap of the King cuddling Prince Louis was also shown, although this has been seen in the past.

The snaps featured Charles speaking in a previous interview about what drives him in his quest for protecting the environment.

He said: "I mind so much about the future, what we're going to leave to our children and grandchildren.

"That's what really gets me going."
