They are here! They are finally here!

The official portraits from Princess Charlotte's Christening have been released today following this statement by Kensington Palace:

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their whole family had a wonderful day on Sunday and were delighted to share the special occasion with the thousands of people who came to Sandringham. They are very happy to share these photographs and hope that everyone enjoys them a much as they do."

On Sunday the 5th of July, Her Royal Highness, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge was Christened at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, accompanied by her mother, father and adorable big brother, Prince George.

The service was officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Rev Justin Welby and the Local Reverend Jonathan Riviere. The guest list was very small, with only 21 guests including the 5 godparents, Her Majesty The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, The Duchess of Cornwall and the Middleton family Carole, Michael, Pippa and James.

A notable absentee from the day's celebrations was Prince Harry who is currently on a 3 month trip to Africa, spending his time working as a wildlife ranger following his departure from the Armed Forces earlier this year.

The Christening was a very close, personal celebration, despite being surrounded by thousands of well-wishers, of whom the Royal Couple walked through with little George beside them and the little lady of the day, Princess Charlotte being pushed by Kate in an original 1950's Milson Pram, used by the Queen for Princes Andrew and Edward.

I think this made the occasion even more special for the public, as we were able to see our first glimpse of the family all together and were allowed to see a lot more than at Prince George's Christening in 2013 which took place at the Chapel Royal at St. James' Palace in London.


The whole occasion was just magical and the moments captured by world famous photographer Mario Testino- Princess Diana's favourite photographer and also a favourite of the Duke and  Duchess of Cambridge- are amazing! They give a small glimpse into the family life of the Royal Couple with their two beautiful children that we rarely get to see. Prince George is seriously just TOO CUTE TO HANDLE! And I'm sure his little sister will be exactly the same, she too is so very beautiful.  The photographs are personal and candid and just give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside when you see the love that  Kate and William have for their beautiful little family.




My favourite photographs are the three more personal ones with just Kate and William with their beautiful children, and more specifically the one in which Kate is holding Charlotte and just beaming with love and pride for her beautiful daughter. It just shows that wonderful bond between a Mother and her child and I think it is just a truly stunning moment.

I feel so happy that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released these photos and let us share in their special day, even the moments we got to see are filled with so much love, happiness and that personal touch that William and Kate add to everything!

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I did! It was such a beautiful day!
