The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released two official photographs this afternoon to celebrate the special occasion.

Alongside the family portrait, the couple also released a black and white image showing little Archie cradled in the arms of mum Meghan, 37, as doting dad Harry, 34, puts his arm around the pair.

Sharing the two adorable snaps, the palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to share the happiness of this day, and would like to thank everyone around the world for their ongoing support. They feel so fortunate to have enjoyed this special moment with family and Archie’s godparents."

The photographs were taken by Chris Allerton in the Green Drawing Room and the Rose Garden at Windsor Castle.

Chris Allerton said: "I am honoured to take the official photographs at the christening of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and to once again, be part of such a special and joyous occasion for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex."

Members of the St George’s Chapel Choir performed at the ceremony as the seventh-in-line to the throne was baptised in a spectacular £11,000 Lily Font with water from the River Jordan and christened in the same royal gown Kate Middleton's children wore.

Sadly, the Queen and Prince Philip were absent from the ceremony, having already made plans to spend the week together at Sandringham after Holyrood Week.
