Two months after welcoming baby Princess Charlotte, the Royal family had further reason to show off their new addition when they celebrated her christening.

The ceremony took place in Sandringham over the weekend and the Queen and Prince of Wales were amongst the guest list.

Following the christening, the family made their way to Sandringham house for a spot of afternoon tea and, by the looks of things, a quick photoshoot.

Vogue photographer Mario Testino- who previously photographed Princess Charlotte’s late grandmother Princess Diana- took the gorgeous photos of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their adorable brood.

Two-year-old Prince George posed playfully in dad William’s arms and Kate beamed with happiness as she cradled baby Charlotte.

The young family also posed for photos with the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince Phillip, Camilla Parker Bowles, Carole and Michael Middleton, Kate’s brother James and younger sister Pippa.

During the christening, Princess Charlotte wore a replica of the royal christening robe worn by Prince George during his baptism in 2013.

The event was the second time that the newest royal family member has been seen in public since her birth on May 2.

She was born after a short labour at St Mary’s Hospital in London. Proud parents Kate and William were sure to have her home with big brother George before dinner time that evening.
