The official portraits from Prince George's christening are here!
And yes, they are as elegant and delightful as you would expect from the stylish royals.
Just one day after the royal christening, Kensington Palace released four formal photographs, taken by Jason Bell in the Morning Room at Clarence House on Wednesday, Oct. 23, according to a statement from the palace.
The first photograph features the entire family: Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middletonholding her son on her lap and Prince William seated, while Prince Phillip, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince Harry, Pippa Middleton, James Middleton, and Kate's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton are standing.
It was a small affair at the christening, only 23 guests were present. In addition to the royal family and the Middleton family, George's seven godparents and the six spouses among them and William's former nanny turned George's part-time nanny, Jessie Webb, marked the celebration.
"It has been a tremendously joyful occasion for everyone involved," a Kensington Palace spokesperson said in a statement issued after the 35-minute ceremony.
After the ceremony, it was back to Clarence House for tea and the top tier of Will and Kate's wedding cake. It's a British tradition for couples to freeze the top of their cake and then serve it at their firstborn child's baptism.
The royal wedding cake was an eight-tiered spiced fruitcake (they're not just for Christmas in the U.K.!), made by pastry chef Fiona Cairns.
