The Little Princess's First Few Days..

Yesterday the little Princess had a day of meeting her family. Kate's mother, Carole Middleton, and sister, Pippa, arrived to meet the new addition.

Later on her father, Michael, also arrived to meet his new granddaughter.

Prince Charles looked thrilled to be there and had said previously that he had really hoped the baby would be a little girl.

The Duchess of Cornwall also looked very pleased to be meeting the Princess.

Meanwhile, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh stayed at Sandringham in Norfolk and were seen attending the Sunday Service at the nearby church.

It is thought that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had settled on a name but wanted to tell The Queen in person before announcing it. It is thought that they will travel down today so they can meet their newest great-grandchild. So, we are hoping for a name announcement at some point today!

The next time we will get to see the Princess is likely to be for her first official family portrait. With Prince George this was taken by Michael Middleton in the Middleton's Bucklebury back garden, two weeks after the birth. 

However, it is though that this time it will be taken at Anmer Hall and could be released sooner. This is because all the key dates are being moved forward so that the Christening can take place before The Queen goes to Balmoral for the Summer.

The Queen must be in attendance at the Christening and as she goes to Balmoral at the end of July/beginning of August, we are likely to see a Christening sooner rather than later.

This is because the christening gown that all royal babies wear, only fits a baby up to around 3-4months grown. Prince George's christening was the 23rd October - 3 months after he was born. 

If they were to do that again it would be the 2nd August, by which time The Queen is likely to have left for Balmoral, so it will need to be earlier. But, with Prince George's 2nd birthday being the 22nd July, it is thought it could be even earlier so they don't over shine his birthday celebration!

We will have to wait and see but it will be very exciting to see the little Princess sooner than we thought!
