Duchess Kate lovingly gazes at Prince George in new christening portrait: lovely?
Clarence House has released another portrait from Prince George’s christening. I don’t really understand why we got four “official” portraits and then we get one additional “private” one days later, but I’m not complaining. I really, really love this photo. This photo makes me very hopeful that Kate is a great, hands-on mom who lights up in the presence of her first child. Look at the way George is looking at his mom! And look at the way she’s looking at him. They seem very bonded. Meanwhile, William is the grumpy one. It’s like he’s inspecting a new gymnasium or something. All business. Apparently, George’s parents were somewhat surprised that he was so well-behaved for his christening:
Sweet baby George! One more photograph from Prince George’s special christening day has been released! The royal family celebrated Prince George’s christening at the Chapel Royal at St. James Palace in London on Wednesday, Oct. 23. The following day, four beautiful snapshots were released from the historic occasion.
The latest photo, taken yet again by celeb photographer Jason Bell, shares a sweet and very touching moment between the little boy and his royal parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. In the personal photograph, Kate Middleton holds Prince George, 3 months, as the two doting parents fawn over their precious baby boy. In the close up, Prince George smiles up at a beaming Middleton with a huge grin, as Prince William stares down with a subtle expression.
Just like the others, the photo was taken immediately following the Oct. 23 baptism in the Morning Room at Clarence House, Kensington Palace.
For the special day, both Kate and Pippa donned seemingly similar dresses. The first-time mom stunned in a cream-colored dress with ruffle detailing by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, which also was her wedding gown designer. The 30-year-old aunt, meanwhile, wore a high neckline pink dress with a cream-colored, wool trapeze coat.
Later that evening, Kate continued her busy day by attending the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Benefit Gala, the second formal event since giving birth in July. Wearing a navy blue Jenny Packham gown, the glowing new mom couldn’t help but gush about little George and the big event from earlier that day.
“He was such a good boy,” she said when asked about the christening. “Actually, we’re very lucky, he’s not always like that, but…the people there, lots of action going on, it’s slightly distracting.”
“…He’s not always like that…” Again, it really feels like Prince George loves to cry and fuss and be loud. But George also has that Middleton blood in him – he knows how to perform for the cameras! Kate was probably like, “Shhh, you’re on! You better not wail when you meet the Queen.” Apparently, George also “blew bubbles” when William was bouncing him too.
Last thing – Us Weekly confirms that Kate and William bought a “Silver Cross Balmoral pram” at the cost of $2350 for baby George in August. Not only did they buy the pram, they’ve been using it on the grounds of Kensington Palace. They did not use it for the christening though, because they wanted to hold him.
