'Princess Mary Kate Turns Two!'

'A new photo of the young Princess was released by Kensington Palace to mark the occasion of her birthday, which is today, July 23. Kensington Palace shared the photo along with a sweet message, stating:'

The Duchess holds the twins, Caroline wearing a purple flower in her hair, Cece wearing a peach one. The Duke holds Princess Mary Kate, who plays with a toy drum. Humorously, every family member's eyes are somewhere other than the camera.'
