This is a terrific photo. So much personality! This person will solve the issue of global warming within ten-to-fifteen years! (I also think she looks SO much like Wills here.)

Informative Caption tells us that "Princess Charlotte, who celebrates her fifth birthday on Saturday, helps to pack up and deliver food packages for isolated pensioners in the local area along with her family. " A lot of the royals have been on this beat, from Harry and Meghan to Sophie to the Cambridges, and it's lovely and much needed. According to People, this was an initative that the staff at Sandringham is doing.

The Duke And Duchess of Cambridge Release Photos To Celebrate Princess Charlotte's Fifth Birthday

I think it's nice (and smart!) that so far both of the Cambridge kids birthday portraits during This Time have involved them pitching in at an age-appropriate level (Charlotte, helping out here, and then little Louis making artwork for the NHS).

"HULLO! Is anyone home? I've brought you carbs." (Per People, Kate and the kids made the pasta earlier. Do you eat that, or do you save it for later to tell people that this is your artisnal royal-made fusilli, or whatever? Regardless, I look forward to the interview from the Norfolk granny who opened this door. I hope she asked Charlotte in to watch the end of Eastenders with her.)
