Artist imagines how Princess Charlotte will appear at one, four, ten and sixteen... and the final picture looks a LOT like the Duchess of Cambridge

Does this face look familiar? Artist imagines how Princess Charlotte will appear at one, four, ten and sixteen... and the final picture looks a LOT like the Duchess of Cambridge 

  • The baby princess has been digitally aged to one, four and twelve
  • Later images imagine her on her sixteenth and twenty-first birthdays
  • Princess Charlotte was born on the 2nd May at the Lindo Wing
  • Baby has spent her first month with her family at Anmer Hall in Norfolk
  • Duchess of Cambridge hasn't been seen since the birth of her daughter
  • Could make an appearance at Trooping the Colour on the 13th June 
With her long dark hair, rounded cheeks and toothy smile, this could be a snapshot of the Duchess of Cambridge taken in her teens.
But in fact, the images are of Princess Charlotte - and show how newborn baby Cambridge could look as she grows up.
The pictures are the work of a team of designers and imagine how the month-old baby could appear when she celebrates her first, fourth, eighth, twelfth, sixteenth and twenty-first birthdays.

In the first shot of the series, showing the little princess as she turns one, Charlotte appears chubby-cheeked and bears a striking resemblance to her brother Prince George.
But by the time her fourth birthday arrives, the design team, who were commissioned by event planners Hello Party, imagine her looking more like her mother.
At twelve, the princess is growing into her looks and by sixteen, Charlotte has become a Duchess of Cambridge doppelgänger. 
By the time the Princess of Cambridge hits twenty-one, she looks almost identical to her mother, broad smile and long dark hair included.
'We worked closely with a designer specialising in facial recognition and age progression images,' explains Hello Party co-founder, Gerry Connolly.

'He carefully scrutinised images of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, including how they looked when they were growing up, and also photos of their first child Prince George. 
'This enabled him to create the photos of how Princess Charlotte may look as she matures into a toddler, teenager and a young woman. We think she’ll be a real beauty and a true English rose.'
Charlotte was born early last month and made her one and only public appearance to date on the steps of the Lindo Wing in the arms of her mother.
The baby has spent most of her first month tucked away at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, having first met her grandparents Michael and Carole Middleton and Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at Kensington Palace before leaving.

Although the Duke of Cambridge has made several public appearances since the birth, most notably at the FA Cup Final on Saturday, the Duchess has not been seen since the birth.
Unlike with Prince George, there is little pressure on the Duchess of Cambridge to make a speedy return to work this time around.
No engagements are scheduled for the next few months, although she could make an appearance at Trooping the Colour on the 13th June.
The event, which is held to mark the Queen's official birthday, sees the monarch take part in an carriage procession down The Mall before alighting at Horseguards Parade for the main event.
Troops from the Household Division, which includes the Household Cavalry and the The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, then file past watched by members of the Royal Family.
The event concludes with a Fly Past, watched by the royals from the balcony at Buckingham Palace.
