My goodness, Prince William is very tall or the rest of the crowd is very short.  They all look wonderful and the baby is a cutie! |

I want more.  Have they announced the godparents? |

He's a cutie. I see both of his parents when I look at him, though I think he might favor Megan a bit more. One of the blogs pointed out that Kate wore Princess Diana's Collingwood Pearl & Diamond drop earrings today. Those are the same earrings that Diana wore to Harry's christening. I thought that was a sweet nod to her. Have they announced the godparents? No and apparently there are no plans to do so. |

He is sooooo cute. This is one of maybe 3 times I really can't stand Kate's outfit. 🙈

Those look like two different babies! Maybe they did have twins and used twin 1 in the first photo and twin 2 in the other one...  Seriously though, he looks quite different in the two photos more a chunky little thing sitting down and much longer/leaner in the standing up photo. I'm still surprised about the no hair. In my experiences of friends/at work etc often the babies born a week or two late were the ones with a mop of hair, and the baldy ones were often those born before than their due dates. I wonder why Earl Spencer wasn't in the photos? He was mentioned in the birth announcement, and seeing as Diana's sisters were there, it seems plausible that he would be too. Any UK ladies know anymore about this? Harry seems to be closer to Diana's family than William. I wonder if/why the photographer angled the Aunt in the middle that way, she looks a bit out of place, I think the photo would have been better with her facing the camera. I don't think Meghan should have worn cream, Kate already did that for all 3 of hers and it so seems a bit 'copy-cat' she should have picked her own colour, she looks good in darker colours and the baby's gown would have looked good against her wearing a darker shade. I usually love Kate's style and have liked her in the neck-tie/bow in the past, but I'm not loving this outfit, or her hat. Maybe she was playing it down so it didn't look like she was trying to compete with Meghan, if that was the case, then she succeeded! - apart from showing she has great legs, the rest of it isn't very memorable. Doria and Camilla both look nice - simple and elegant. I almost forgot...Harry's shoes...WTF? They look like some old work boots he dragged out from the back of his bachelor closet, brown suede shoes, black socks and a pale blue (or is it grey?) tie. Seriously. I know he's going for the more casual, down to earth brother vibe, but this is his first child's christening, surely he owns a pair of well polished brown dress shoes that he could have worn. I'm sure someone would have even polished them for him. |

Lovely photos.
I was surprised to see Kate sitting and Doria standing in the group photo. It might be protocol but it seemed odd to me.

Wow is that what Diana would like today? Seems so out of place to have Camilla there too. Also rare to see Kate In posed family photos like this without her kids, glad she made it about Archie.
Do you find it strange the Queen has a prior engagement?

Do you find it strange the Queen has a prior engagement? Why wouldn't she be there? She is Archie's grandma, just like Doria. |

Honestly? I think Doria looks absolutely beautiful. I don't think cream is a color that Meg should wear - she looks much better in a brighter color. And Harry's shoes? Ugh.
The entire photo doesn't look like anyone but Meg was glad to be there. It all looks so forced.

And I realize there is a big ol pillow supporting the DoS but it makes it look like there's an ocean apart from Kate and William... not exactly warm and fuzzy! |

Camilla's outfit does not fit at all and looks like a copycat of this:  |

Most Royal photos look a little stilted, but this one especially so. No looks happy. And that outfit is definitely not becoming on Kate. She's been wearing more and more bows like that and it dates her.

It didn't even register that Camilla was seated on the left and her outfit looks great. Weird that Harry's aunt looks so much like Camilla to me. |

I hate that I’m obsessed with this family. I was a little girl who woke up at the crack of dawn to watch Charles and Dianna wed. I will say, it bugs me that he married an American. (I know but it’s my opinion) Fake is her following English traditions but on the other hand I cringe when she/they don’t follow protocol. I’m team William and Kate.

As a photographer, I can tell you it’s impossible to get this many adults AND a baby to all smile with their eyes open at the same time. Most of them are looking happy. I believe they chose the cutest shot of the baby.
Also, many people find the whole process tedious, so if a few of those smiles look strained, it wouldn’t be any wonder.
And a previous poster perfectly showed how Meghan is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t with some people.

Lovely photos. Lovely baby, who manages to look like both of his parents.
The only thing that I found odd was that Archie was reported as wearing a replica of the Royal christening gown. Why a replica, and not the real thing?
The queen did have a prior engagement. This is a matter of record.
Not sure why what Diana would have thought is of any consequence. The woman has been dead for quarter of a century.

Why a replica, and not the real thing? The queen did have a prior engagement. This is a matter of record. Not sure why what Diana would have thought is of any consequence. The woman has been dead for quarter of a century. Because the original has been retired from all christenings due to being deemed too fragile. After all, it has been in use since the 1800s. The original gown was replicated and is now the "real thing" www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a22064592/british-royal-family-christening-gown-history/ |
