The official photos from Princess Charlotte’s christening are here!
The Royal Family celebrated Princess Charlotte's christening on Sunday with a church ceremony in Norfolk.
Although the public and the media were permitted to gather on the walkway into the church's gardens, the ceremony was a private affair for family and friends only. Luckily for us though, Kensington Palace has just published the official shots from the christening, taken by renowned celebrity photographer Mario Testino.
Thank you @mariotestino for helping to capture such an important day for the Cambridge family!

As well as Prince Charles, Camilla Parker-Bowles, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, the family event was also attended by Kate's sister Pippa, her brother James and her parents Michael and Carole. The family gathered at Sandringham House afterwards to celebrate the happy day:
In keeping with royal tradition, little Charlotte has a grand total of five godparents – Kate’s long-time friend Sophie Carter, William's schoolfriends James Meade and Thomas van Straubenzee, Kate's cousin Adam Middleton, and Princess Diana's niece The Hon. Laura Fellowes.
We are just loving these beautiful solo shots of Kate holding Charlotte and William playing with George:
Gorgeous.
Peruvian photographer Mario has worked with the Royal Family on a number of occasions before, having photographed Prince Charles, Prince Harry and even Princess Diana.
He also took the iconic photos that Kate and William released to announce their engagement back in December 2010:
We can't wait to see more photos of the family as little Charlotte and George grow up.
