We can't stop looking!!

Prince Louis’ Christening took place last week at the Chapel Royal in St James’ Palace, overseen by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

While the day saw some iconic style moments (Kate in white and Meghan in olive green) and some classic Princess Charlotte sass, telling the paparazzi that they weren’t invited, it was the photos that got everyone talking this weekend.

Yes, that’s right. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have officially released Prince Louis’ Christening photographs - and they are heartwarmingly sweet.

Proving that they are as millennial as they are relatable, Kate and Wills chose to share some intimate snaps, the most relaxed royal Christening photographs to date.
