The late Queen's great-granddaughter Isla Phillips celebrates her 12th birthday on 29 March. 

Isla, who is 20th in line to the British throne, is the younger daughter of Peter and Autumn Phillips and one of Princess Anne's five beloved grandchildren.

She has one sibling, her older sister Savannah, age 13 – there is just a year and three months between the girls and we often see them having fun together at sporting events with their family.

Take a look back at some of Isla's sweetest photos so far...
