Britain’s royal family has released the first official photos of month-old Princess Charlotte, photographed by her mother in the arms of elder brother Prince George. Kensington Palace issued four images Saturday, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge in mid-May at Anmer Hall, the family’s home in eastern England.

Britain’s royals have been photographed by some of the world’s leading photographers. But Prince William and Kate are continuing a more informal tradition begun two years ago with the first official portrait of Prince George, taken by his grandfather Michael Middleton.

Charlotte was born May 2 and is fourth in line to the throne. She will be christened in a private ceremony next month.

Iglesias thanks fans via Instagram

With a photo flashing a red “Thank You!” written in the palm of his unharmed hand, singer Enrique Iglesias thanked his fans on Instagram for their support while he recovers from his recent finger-slicing accident.

Hundreds of followers, mostly women writing in Spanish, immediately flooded the post with good wishes and questions like, “When are you resuming your tour?”

“My hand is getting better little by little,” he replied to an admirer in Spanish. “I am going to Mexico at the beginning of July, so see you there!”

Iglesias sliced his fingers when grabbing a drone at a show in Tijuana, Mexico, last weekend.
