The royal births of Prince George and Princess Charlotte were an international celebration, and after a quiet few months, new photos of the Princess are returning us to that collective frenzy all over again.
The official Twitter account of Kensington Palace took to Twitter today to post two new shots of the 6-month-old that were taken by her mother, Duchess Kate (née Kate Middleton) earlier this month.

Many fans tweeted about how much she resembles her mother, father, brother, late grandmother Princess Diana, and great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. (An impressive feat, to resemble five people at once.)
