sleeping cutie louis is christened

-

PRINCE Louis was so relaxed about his christenin­g yesterday – he slept through the big day.

The 11-week-old royal, dressed in an off-white, frilly gown, was blissfully unaware he was the centre of attention at St James’s Palace.

He did not even stir as the cameras clicked and whirred, photograph­ing Prince William and Kate for the first time with all three children as they entered the Chapel Royal. The Duchess of Cambridge carried dozing Louis into the service as dad William lovingly held the hands of George, four, and threeyear-old Charlotte.

Prince Harry and Meghan joined close family to celebrate the christenin­g alongside Prince

Charles and Camilla.

Louis Arthur Charles was wearing in the same christenin­g robe his siblings wore – a replica of one made in 1841 for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby bent down to greet George and Charlotte, and shake the princess’s hand.

As Kate chatted to the archbishop, she could be heard describing her sleeping son as “very relaxed and peaceful”.

She added: “I hope he stays like this.”
