There were also several who drew attention to the likeness between her brothers, who they suggested looked “like twins”.
The candid snaps were all taken earlier this month.
Since the middle of March, the family have remained at their Norfolk home - which is near the Queen’s Sandringham home.
Having conducted a string of virtual engagements via video call, this week the duke and duchess returned to in-person engagements.
William joked about being ready to get back to the pub during a visit to a bakery in King’s Lynn.
Speaking about what he had been getting up to in lockdown, the second-in-line to the throne said: “I’ve done a little bit of baking.
“The children have been attacking the kitchen and it’s just been an explosion of flour and chocolate everywhere.
“Catherine’s been doing quite a bit of baking.”
