Estelle turns two

While she waits to meet the cousin who will no doubt turn into a playmate, Princess Estelle has kept herself busy posing for photos to mark her second birthday.  The future queen is looking very grown up as she marks her milestone and mum and dad are fading into the background as the little princess takes centre stage.

The princess is also seen painting before settling on a sofa at the Haga Palace for a very smart portrait to mark her big day.  The little girl who was famously shown off by her parents for the first time in a car seat on their way home from hospital in February 2012 is now queen of the photoshoot.
