In honor of her fifth birthday on May 2, proud parents Kate Middleton and Prince William released four new photos of their daughter. The sweet new snaps show her taking part in a volunteering effort amid the coronavirus pandemic. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share four new photographs of Princess Charlotte ahead of her fifth birthday tomorrow,” the palace said in a statement on Friday. 'The photographs were taken in April by the Duchess on the Sandringham estate, where the family helped to pack up and deliver food packages for isolated pensioners." Charlotte and her family pitched in to help pack up and deliver food parcels for older residents living near their country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, where they have been isolating amid the crisis. In the photos, Charlotte knocks on a neighbor's door while carrying some homemade pasta, which she, mom Kate, 38, and the rest of her family made the previous day, a royal source tells PEOPLE.
