HIS ROYAL CUTENESS

A PHOTO capturing a special moment between a beaming Kate Middleton and newly christened Prince Louis was too cute to be kept under wraps.

The photo by Jerseybased portrait photographer Matt Porteous – which was meant to be part of a private collection for Kate and Prince William – shows a giggling, 11-week-old Prince Louis in his mother’s arms.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released the photograph to accompany the official pictures of the christening, which took place in Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace on July 9.

“Their Royal Highnesses hope that everyone enjoys this lovely photograph of Prince Louis as much as they do,” a spokesperson for the couple said.
