The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's daughter, Princess Charlotte, celebrated her fifth birthday on 2 May 2020 and she was captured volunteering with her family to deliver food parcels to vulnerable and elderly people in Sandringham during the coronavirus lockdown. Charlotte was born at the Lindo Wing in 2015 and is the younger sister of Prince George. We've seen plenty of cute and funny moments from the Princess in the past five years, including a royal wave as she arrived to meet her younger brother, Prince Louis, and sticking her tongue out at her grandfather, Michael Middleton.

Mia Tindall is one of the cutest royals around. The eldest daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall always looks like she's having a whale of a time, whether she's playing with her parents at Gatcombe Park, or bonding with her adorable cousins including Savannah and Isla Phillips. The little royal turned five in January 2019, just months after she became a big sister to Zara and Mike's second child, baby Lena.

Prince William and Kate's son turned five in July 2018, with the family marking the day in private on holiday in Mustique. Prince George's siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were on hand to celebrate the big day.

The Cambridges may have spent the day out of the public eye, but Kensington Palace always acknowledges royal children's birthdays by releasing at least one official portrait. In 2018, George was pictured in the grounds of Clarence House, posing against a brick wall. He flashed a big smile in the photo taken by Matt Porteous following Prince Louis' christening.

While there aren't many photos of Princess Diana as a young girl, given than she was not yet a royal, this picture was taken in 1965, when she was four years old.
