London: The official Twitter handle of Kensington Palace on Sunday released some new and adorable images of Britain's baby Princess Charlotte to mark her six-month milestone.
In the first picture released, Charlotte is seen to now have a full head of hair as she sits in a chair with her toy.
This photo of Princess Charlotte was also taken by The Duchess of Cambridge at home in Norfolk earlier this month. pic.twitter.com/YHeJ5ItPmi

She howls with laughter as her mother snaps away with the camera - believed to be the same Canon EOS 5D Mark II she used for previous shots of her children.
In the second image, the princess is shown looking past the camera as if something has caught her attention behind the Duchess.
The Duke and Duchess hope everyone enjoys these new photos of Princess Charlotte as much as they do. pic.twitter.com/ylZ7VvOuIY

Princess Charlotte is the fourth-in-line to the British throne since her christening in July.
In a first, the pictures were released by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate, via their Kensington Palace office to thank fans for the good wishes sent to the royal couple.
The photographs were taken by Kate at their family home Anmer Hall in Norfolk in the east of England early in November.
Notably, Kate is an accomplished amateur photographer and took a joint portrait of her children Prince George, aged two, and Charlotte a few weeks after her daughter was born on May 2.
The last time the princess was seen in public was in July during her christening at St Mary Magdalene Church on the Queen's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The royal baby was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury on July 5 in the church of St Mary Magdalene, Sandringham, close to Anmer Hall.
The service was private, but photographs taken by Mario Testino were released to the media afterwards.
Earlier, the first official pictures of Princess Charlotte - taken when she was just a fortnight old and alongside her big brother, Prince George - were captured by the Duchess and released in June.
