At only 11 weeks old, Prince Louis made his second public appearance in the arms of his mum the Duchess of Cambridge at his christening.
The ceremny took place at The Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in London, and in attendance was Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as Duchess Catherine’s family – parents Carole Middleton and Michael Middleton, and siblings James Middleton and Pippa Middleton who is pregnant herself.
But away from the main event, were the little, touching details you didn’t get to see. From the beautiful tribute to the late Princess Diana, and Princess Charlotte’s cheeky moment, here are the moments you need to see.
Princess Charlotte and Prince George being bloody adorable, as per usual.
Princess Charlotte and Prince George had the world fawning over their cherub cheeks once again at their little brother’s christening.
All eyes were on the four-year-old and three-year-old when they arrived and we got to see the little royals shake the hand of the Most Reverend Justin Welby. Princess Charlotte was ready to go, giving the Reverend a very confident hand shake, while her older brother George needed a little bit more coaxing from their dad.

Fruit cake keeps for years- this is primarily why it’s used as wedding cake so this old tradition is kept up. My mum kept the top layer of her wedding cake (she married in 1984) but they never used it as I was never christened (and an only child) so I grew up knowing it was in a box, in our sideboard and I loved looking at it. We finally decided 20+ years later to eat it and it was perfectly fine still (the icing wasn’t so great but the cake itself was fine and I’m still alive and well (and was at the time we ate it too) ). 7 years is nothing! It’s a shame Harry didn’t match Meghan though- they look like they got dressed in different places and met there.
Using a tier of a wedding cake as a christening cake isn't that uncommon. And a properly made and stored fruit cake will store for years and years. So it's not like they're eating a stale or mouldy slice of cake.
