Princess Charlotte delightful in new official christening photos

After the wonderful event that was baby Princess Charlotte’s christening this week, Kensington Palace has released the official photographs, showing the very happy young Royal family, along with a proud extended family.

A Kensington Palace spokesman said on Thursday: “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 as much as they do”.

The lovely images were taken by renowned international photographer Mario Testino, who has a long association with the Royal Family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s 2010 engagement photograph, and of Prince William’s mother Princess Diana for a Vanity Fair article.
