Duchess Kate looks amazing in McQueen as Prince Louis is christened in London

She once again went for white.

It’s her third child – so she’s had practice (and form!) when it comes to dressing for a high-profile christening.

And the Duchess Of Cambridge certainly didn’t disappoint on Monday for Prince Louis’s big moment.

The 36-year-old wore a white dress by Alexander McQueen – one of her favourite labels and the same designer that created her breathtaking 2011 wedding gown.

Kate furthermore once again opted for white; the same shade she wore for both George and Charlotte’s christenings in 2013 and 2015 respectively.

Her headpiece was also fab; it was created by Jane Taylor.

Meanwhile, Meghan went for an off-green Ralph Lauren along with a hat by Stephen Jones. The Duchess of Cornwall chose a Fiona Clare dress and a Locke hat.

Pippa Matthews – Kate’s 33-year-old sister – is currently expecting her first child. She wore blue Alessandra Rich as she arrived with her cousin, Lucy Middleton.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte as always looked completely adorable – not to mention very well-behaved.

The Archbishop of Canterbury was on hand to baptise 11-week-old Prince Louis on Monday.

He was supported by The Dean of The Chapel Royal, The Right Reverend and Right Honourable the Lord Chartres, and The Sub-Dean of the Chapel Royal, The Reverend Canon Paul Wright.

A statement on Monday announced the godparents as:

  • Mr Nicholas van Cutsem – a close friend of Prince William who also accompanied the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s carriage at their wedding
  • Mr Guy Pelly – longtime friend to William and Kate, Pelly was responsible for William’s stag party back in 2011
  • Mr Harry Aubrey-Fletcher – one of William’s oldest friends who asked the Prince to be an usher at his wedding
  • The Lady Laura Meade – another close friend to the couple, with William also acting as usher at her wedding
  • Mrs Robert Carter, Hannah Gillingham – she is an old school friend of Kate Middleton
  • Miss Lucy Middleton – first cousin of Kate
