Yes Diana's sisters Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale are in the group photo. Archie of course is wearing the replica christening gown that is traditionally worn.

Baby is adorable and everyone looks great. Love the color worn by Kate and Doria - they complement each other nicely and balance the photo. If I were to critique the fashion, I would say that I don’t like the bow (?) on Kate’s dress. But, l like the color and love the dark contrast of her matching shoes and hat - were anyone else’s eyes immediately drawn to her shoes?

Was the queen busy or does she normally not attend the christenings? Not criticizing her for not being there - I’m sure her schedule is set a year in advance.

@Alter Ego Yes the Queen had a scheduled engagement. She has missed other christenings, including the christening of at least one of Kate and William's children.

Thank you @Greeneyedlady21 for these pictures. I knew that you, probably, would be the one to post them. What a beautiful baby. The parents are certainly proud and beaming. Nice that the aunts are included. Kate of course looks gorgeous but then when doesn’t she. Doris looks lovely also. Great color on her.

Just random thoughts. Meghan looks so much prettier in white, than in black.

Doria and Camilla look like they tie for best dressed imo

I would love to see Doria's pin..I wonder if it is a nod to the Queen's taste..

Camilla is sort of taking a leaf from the Queen Mothers hat style, and it suits her very much

I love Kate ,but not ,what she has on her head. Of course it might look better in person

Archie is adorable. I think he looks just like Harry, with some Meghan around the eyes. Looks like he has a reddish cast to his hair. Everyone looks handsome, pretty and happy!

@cherry When I zoomed the photo Kate's headband appeared to be braided. It looks a bit strange, it's also the backdrop behind her in the photo. I do love the color contrast of her shoes and headband.

Doria is an elegant woman. I love the color. She really knows how to dress imo.

This accompanied the photo on their Instagram account:

This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle at an intimate service officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment.

Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie.

Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years. The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter. It was subsequently worn for generations of Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren until 2004, when The Queen commissioned this handmade replica, in order for the fragile historic outfit to be preserved, and for the tradition to continue.

Beautiful photo of the three of them. Brought tears to my eyes.

That little cream puff of a baby is precious beyond words....as are all babies.

The family photo is lovely. How happy they all must be!
