Senior royal unrecognisable in throwback snap – can you guess who it is?

A SENIOR royal is unrecognisable in this adorable throwback photo – but do you know who it is?

The royal took to their social media pages to post their baby picture.

The image shows her reaching for her dad’s cheeks as he holds her in his arms.

Kate Middleton, 41, the Princess of Wales, looks completely different these days.

Along with the sweet picture was captioned: “Faces are a baby’s best toy.”

It highlighted Kate’s recently launched campaign Shaping Us which is aimed at raising awareness of the impact of the first five years of life on adulthood.

Kate, a mum to Charlotte, George and Louis, has emphasised the importance of the campaign, describing it as part of her “life’s work”.

As part of her launch, the princess met a group of under-fives and chatted about growing pains, ice-cream and teddy bears.

Kate met the youngsters at St John’s CE Primary School in Bethnal Green, East London and handed out high-fives.

She then played a claymation film depicting the first five years of a girl called Layla – used to explain her campaign.

The princess said the animation shows “how important it is to look after you, give you love, give you kindness, so you can be the best you can be.”

On Monday, Kate kicked off her new Shaping Us initiative, at BAFTA in London, with stars such as Rochelle Humes, Fearne Cotton and Professor Green.

Kate was born on January 9, 1982 to Michael and Carole Middleton.

She has one sister, Pippa, who was born a year later and a brother, James, who arrived in 1987.

Michael was born into a wealthy family with ties to aristocracy and went to the prestigious Clifton College in Bristol.

While Carole was born in London to a relatively normal family and grew up in Southall.

The couple met when working as cabin crew for British Airways.

Kate met William, the Prince of Wales, while they were studying at Edinburgh University.

They married in Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.
