The new photo, shared on the Cambridge's official Instagram account is to highlight the importance of butterflies in the ecosystem.
In the photo, the young royal is seen gently cradling Peacock and Red Admiral butterflies. The photos were shared as a part of the Butterfly Count initiative. The initiative, which is currently going on across the UK, has gained support from Prince William, Kate, and their children; Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Keen-eyed royal fans were quick to notice how much Charlotte looks like her great grandmother the Queen. The resemblance to her great grandmother, who Charlotte and her siblings call 'Gan-Gan', is often mentioned by lovers of all things royal.
