Just one week ago, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex asked that you kindly consider supporting various organisations around the world in lieu of sending gifts for the upcoming arrival of their first born. Not only did many of you lend your support, you took action. Their Royal Highnesses wanted you to know the impact of your support - the direct effect your donation, energy, and action made! YOU chose to be part of the collective good, and you have made a real difference. Whether a $5 donation, £1000 contribution, offering to volunteer, or spreading the word - you've played your part. And on behalf of The Duke and Duchess (and Baby Sussex), we thank you so much.

The beautiful portraits kept with family tradition and were taken by Kate Middleton.

A statement from the Kensington Palace read: "Thank you for the lovely messages for Princess Charlotte's fourth birthday! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share three new photographs of Princess Charlotte ahead of her fourth birthday."

"The photographs were taken in April by The Duchess at Kensington Palace and at their home in Norfolk."

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan's sweet tribute comes as the royal couple and the rest of the world await the arrival of Baby Sussex.

The royal duo have confirmed they are keeping the plans of the birth private. However, it is believed that the media will be told when she is in labour.
