The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have shared two sweet family photographs to mark Mother's Day.

Kate Middleton, 41, and Prince William, 40, took to the Kensington Palace Twitter account where they posted an adorable portrait of the mum-of-three sitting in a tree alongside their three children – Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four.

In the nature-themed snap, Prince Louis – the youngest of the couple's three children – can be seen placing his hand on his mother's knee as she affectionately puts her hand on top.

Meanwhile, Prince George casually rests his leg over his mum's legs and Princess Charlotte holds onto the branch above her.

While Kate's sons are both dressed in blue t-shirts and shorts, Princess Charlotte puts on a stylish display in a cute denim play suit adorned with pom poms.

Alongside the sweet snap, which was taken on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk last year, the caption read: "Happy Mother’s Day from our family to yours."

In a nod to her late mother-in-law, Kate can also be seen wearing Princess Diana's stunning sapphire engagement ring, which Prince William proposed to her with when he popped the question in Kenya in 2010.

The outdoor snaps are fitting for keen gardener Kate, who is famed for her love of outdoor pursuits – including sailing, hiking and skiing.

Both images were taken by environmental portrait photographer Matt Porteous, who previously took the photo they used for their 2021 Christmas card, and Prince George's third birthday portraits.

Royal fans rushed to the comments section to share their delight after the unseen photographs were shared.

"Awww, super cute!" enthused one.

A second praised: "Lovely photos!"

A third penned: "Enjoy! This lovely picture has all the feels, also! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums celebrating!"

Meanwhile, a fourth added: "Just beautiful!"

Prince William and kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have some very sweet traditions when it comes to celebrating Kate each year.
