Royal Births: Christening Photos Through the Ages

The royal family is seen at Prince Louis' christening in July 2018. Siblings George and Charlotte did not appear at all pleased with the horde of photographers outside. "You're not coming," 3-year-old Charlotte told them as her dad, Prince William, looked bemused. 

The family, including newlyweds Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, gathered for the private ceremony at the Chapel Royal at St. James’ Palace on July 9 christening.

The now 2-month-old can be seen flashing a huge smile in a photo from his special day.
