Prince Louis' Official Christening Portraits Are Here, and They're Gorgeous

From Harper's BAZAAR

The official portraits from Prince Louis' christening have arrived. The new images, taken by British photographer Matt Holyoak, show the two-month-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton with his parents, god parents, and other members of the royal family.

The photos were taken at a small reception following Louis' christening. They show the Windsors posing with the little prince in a series of adorable portraits.

Louis' godparents also made an appearance. They are: Nicholas van Cutsem, Lucy Middleton, Guy Pelly, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher, Lady Laura Meade, and Hannah Carter.

Louis' famous great-grandparents, the Queen and Prince Philip, were missing in action from the ceremony. The decision was not made on health grounds. The Duke of Edinburgh stayed behind in Norfolk while Her Majesty traveled to London yesterday.

Prince Louis, who was born on April 23, was christened at the Chapel Royal in St. James' Palace in London. The ceremony was private, but some familiar faces were seen arriving for the occasion, including Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, Pippa Middleton, and her husband James Matthews.

After the ceremony, the guests gathered at Clarence House (Charles and Camilla's residence) for afternoon tea hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The couple served slices from a tier of their wedding cake (yes, from 2011) at the celebration.

The christening marked the first time all five Cambridges were photographed together, and now, they have official portraits to commemorate the occasion.
