Princess Charlotte’s Christening: See the Newly Released Photos!

Less than one week after Princess Charlotte's christening, official portraits have been released by Kensington Palace — and the images of the family of four are beautiful.

Stunning new pictures of two-month-old Charlotte with her parents, Kate Middleton and Prince William and older brother Prince George have been released.

The portraits were taken by famed photographer Mario Testino at the princess’ baptism on Sunday, July 5.

The little royal was christened at around 4:30 p.m. UK time last Sunday at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby.

The church — located at Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England — is also where William’s late mother, Princess Diana, and his cousin were christened.

For the occasion, Charlotte donned a replica of the royal christening gown first worn by Queen Victoria’s daughter in 1841.

Her mother wore a gorgeous cream-colored dress coat by Alexander McQueen with a matching feathered hat.

In attendance at the christening were the Queen, her husband, Prince Philip, and the baby’s grandparents, Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Carole Middleton and Michael Middleton.

Though William’s younger brother, Prince Harry, was not at the baptism (he’s doing wildlife conservation work in Africa), Kate’s siblings Pippa Middleton and James Middleton were at the lavish affair.

And dad and son!

Talk about a family picture! Both sides of Charlotte’s famous family are pictures, with the Middletons and Royals in attendance.

These pictures come four days after Charlotte’s christening was held on Sunday, July 5.

The outfit little George wore at the christening was a replica of the one that his father, Prince William, wore when he first went to meet his baby brother for the first time in 1984.

As per family tradition (that is, on Will’s royal side and not on Kate’s), Charlotte was dressed in a long lace gown that has seen 62 royal babies christened so far.

Doesn’t she look gorgeous?

These portraits, however, are not Charlotte’s first! Here she is with big brother, George, in these pictures taken by her mother.

How sweet!

From these pictures, it’s clear that Charlotte has inherited her father’s big blue eyes!

The siblings were in matching cream and blue.
