The royal family has released the official portraits from Princess Charlotte’s Christening from this past Sunday, which were shot by famed photographed Mario Testino.
The British Monarchy’s social media pages posted several images from the family’s special day, which include the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, their eldest child, Prince George, and both sets of grandparents.
For the group shot, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and the Duchess’ siblings Pippa and James Middleton were also included.
The photos were taken at Sandringham House, in both inside and outside locations.
Testino took to his own social media accounts to express his appreciation to be chosen as the photographer for such a momentous occasion, writing in all caps, “I AM OVERWHELMED AND HONOURED TO BE CHOSEN TO TAKE THESE PORTRAITS ON THE OCCASION OF PRINCESS CHARLOTTE'S CHRISTENING TO CARRY ON THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE FAMILY THAT IS THE SOUL OF THIS COUNTRY, A COUNTRY THAT HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH.”
The Duke and Duchess chose Sophie Carter, James Meade, Adam Middleton, Laura Fellowes, who is Princess Diana’s niece, and Thomas van Straubenzee as Charlotte’s godparents.
