Prince Louis Christening Pics: Radiant! Precious! Regal! HERE!

It is a special time to be a member of the Royal Family.

On July 9, Prince Louis was Christened in London, an occasion nearly as exciting and special as the wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle about two months prior.

Several days after this religious ceremony was performed, Kensington Palace has released FIVE official portraits from the Christening.

And they are truly magical.

Captured by photographer Matt Holyoak, the images were snapped in and around Clarence House.

You really need to scroll down and take a close look at them now:

1. At the Christening

Photographers were on hand to capture the Christening itself, too. Before getting to the official portraits, here are some snapshots from the ceremony.

2. A Family Event

Middleton was accompanied for the big day by her husband and two other kids, Charlotte and George. What cuties, right?

3. It’s Over!

Here is this immediate Royal Family walking out of the Christening. What a blessed day for them, one captured for all of eternity by Holyoak.

4. The Royal Family

William and Kate and their kids were surrounded by both sides of their family in the official photo taken at Clarence House. William is seen here with his father, Prince Charles and wife Duchess Camilla, and his brother Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. Kate’s mother and father, Carole and Michael Michael Middleton, stood alongside their children, Pippa and her husband, James Matthews, and James Middleton

5. With All 3 Kids

Princess Charlotte provided us with a cheeky grin in a portrait with her parents and brothers. If a picture says one thousand words, these words would all be synonyms for “precious.”

6. It’s Duchess Meghan Markle!

And others, too, of course. The picture was taken in the Morning Room at Clarence House, the London home of Prince Charles and his wife, Duchess Camilla.

Kate Middleton 12 Photos Of The Duchess Looking Regal as He*k

34 years ago today, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, England.

Details on how the Duchess of Cambridge celebrates her birthday are never made public by Kensington Palace, since it"s a personal occasion.  

However, in years past, Catherine has reportedly kept things low-key on her big day.  For her 31st birthday, Catherine and Prince William were spotted watching Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall with friends and family.

This year will most likely be spent with her own growing family at Anmer Hall.  And no, I don"t imply any bun in the oven when I say "growing."

1. Royal Film Premiere of ‘Spectre’

The Duchess of Cambridge wore a bespoke, jewel-encrusted Jenny Packham gown to the royal film premiere of ‘Spectre’ at the Royal Albert Hall on October 26th, 2015.

Kate Middleton: Confident And Regal At Fostering Network Event

Tonight, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attended the Fostering Network’s Fostering Excellence Awards at BMA House in London.

Her Royal Highness wore Saloni’s “Martine Crinkle-Effect” dress ($ 789).  

This is the first time we’ve seen the Indian label on Catherine, an apt choice given that she and the Duke of Cambridge will visit India next spring.

Catherine presented three young people with an award to recognize “how far determination, a good attitude, and proper support and stability can get you,” according to The Fostering Network’s chief executive, Kevin Williams.  

All three recipients are or were foster children at one point in their lives.

“It is fantastic that we are all gathered this evening to celebrate fostering and the truly transformational care that is a lifeline to so many,” Catherine wrote in a statement ahead of the ceremony.  

“The people we will hear about tonight are truly extraordinary and show how good foster care changes children and young people’s lives.”

Catherine did speak at the event, and she appears to be more comfortable on stage with each passing engagement.

“Kate made a few short remarks tonight before presenting awards to 3 teenagers,” Richard Palmer of the Daily Express tweeted.  “She looked more confident than in previous public speaking.”

Earlier today, William and Catherine signed the book of condolence in memory of the Paris Attacks at the French Embassy in London.

Tonight, William will attend the England vs France soccer match at Wembley Arena in solidarity with France against the recent terrorism attacks.
