Hide AdThe photo’s publication comes after the release of a video of Charlotte with her brothers George, seven, and Louis, three, and their parents to mark the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s 10th wedding anniversary on Thursday.
It showed the family enjoying time outdoors at their Norfolk residence Anmer Hall and on sand dunes at a nearby beach.
Charlotte was dressed for cooler weather in the video which showed her playing and toasting a marshmallow on a camp fire.
The new photo was taken in warmer weather with the smiling princess pictured outdoors while wearing a dark blue short sleeved dress with a pink floral design.

The new image was not shared on the Cambridges’ social media accounts after William said they were joining the sporting world for a four-day social media blackout to show that online abuse is not acceptable.
The relaxed look is a contrast from the photos which marked Charlotte’s fifth birthday.
In 2020, she was pictured volunteering with her brothers and their parents William and Kate by helping to load a van with food and delivering meals for those in need in Norfolk.
