Posting it here for the fashion and hopefully some kindness for a baby's christening. The first photo is so touching

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.

Re: Baby Archie's Christening

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.

Re: Baby Archie's Christening

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.
