Let's say she pretends to be Anne of Cleves -- the one of Henry VIII's wives you really want to be, in my estimation. I also enjoy The Floating Hat of Meghan Markle in the background there. That's a real hat-hat! I also hope that they both got slightly drunk at the post-christening reception and made their spouses put on their hats. ## LOOK AT THIS BABY ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/a42a6af7ba7-1531152140.jpg) USA Rights Only - London, UK -20180709-Princess Charlotte and Prince George hold the hands of their father, the Duke of Cambridge, as they arrive at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, London for the christening of their brother, Prince Louis, who is being carried by their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. -PICTURED: Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Louis -PHOTO by: PA Images/INSTARimages.com -37465219.jpg This is an editorial, rights-managed image.

Ahem. Sorry. He's just turned into a very excellent baby (he looks so much like George!) and I enjoy an excellent baby. ## The Cambridges (and bits of the Sussexes) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/90b8b8b7300-1531152110.jpg) USA Rights Only - London, UK -20180709-Princess Charlotte and Prince George hold the hands of their father, the Duke of Cambridge, as they arrive at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, London for the christening of their brother, Prince Louis, who is being carried by their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. -PICTURED: Prince Harry, Princess Charlotte, Prince George, Prince William, Meghan Duchess of Sussex, Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Louis -PHOTO by: PA Images/INSTARimages.com -37465200.jpg This is an editorial, rights-managed image.

Somehow Charlotte (who is clearly mentally running through Handshake Protocol here) has shot up overnight, and George, of course, looks as skeptical as he always does when he shows up somewhere and there are ALL THESE PEOPLE WITH CAMERA. AGAIN! ## Kate, Louis, and the Archbishop ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/eab3918ce9e-1531153827.jpg) USA Rights Only - London, UK -20180709-Princess Charlotte and Prince George hold the hands of their father, the Duke of Cambridge, as they arrive at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, London for the christening of their brother, Prince Louis, who is being carried by their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. -PICTURED: Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Louis -PHOTO by: PA Images/INSTARimages.com -37465697.jpg This is an editorial, rights-managed image.

Yes, he IS a baby! Thank you!!" Kate is wearing, as you would have guessed, McQueen -- her absolute go-to for these things, as she's worn Sarah Burton's work to the christening of all her babies. I haven't really gotten a look at the dress as a whole, because she's got the baby the whole time, but I think we can safely assume that the front of it has embroidery that reads I HEART HARRY KANE and we just can't see it. ## Meghan (in Ralph Lauren) and Harry ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/3f3eae06dc7-1531153810.jpg) USA Rights Only - London, UK -20180709-Princess Charlotte and Prince George hold the hands of their father, the Duke of Cambridge, as they arrive at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, London for the christening of their brother, Prince Louis, who is being carried by their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. -PICTURED: Meghan Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry -PHOTO by: PA Images/INSTARimages.com -37465702.jpg This is an editorial, rights-managed image.

I quite like this dress on her -- it feels very...professional isn't exactly the right word. But sort of Appropriately Understated Yet Chic. I love the sleeves. (I do wish all the accessories weren't so matchy but at the same time am not quite sure what else I would have done with this dress, accessories-wise? Navy blue, maybe? I almost might have done -- and I hope you're sitting down for this -- a beige shoe. WHO AM I????) ## The Five Cambridges ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/0c2839f187c-1531153792.jpg) USA Rights Only - London, UK -20180709-Princess Charlotte and Prince George hold the hands of their father, the Duke of Cambridge, as they arrive at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, London for the christening of their brother, Prince Louis, who is being carried by their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. -PICTURED: Princess Charlotte, Prince George, Prince William, Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Louis -PHOTO by: PA Images/INSTARimages.com -37465696.jpg This is an editorial, rights-managed image.

If you are in violation of our intellectual property rights or copyright you may be liable for damages, loss of income, any profits you derive from the unauthorized use of this material and, where appropriate, the cost of collection and/or any statutory damages awarded I haven't seen Kate look this happy in a very long time; it's very heart-warming. Also heart-warming to me is the tight grip Wills has on those two kids. George is like, "I'M VERY INTERESTED TO SEE THAT ALL OF YOU ARE STILL HERE AND NO OFFENSE BUT ISN'T IT TIME FOR YOU TO GO HOME RIGHT NOW? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" and Charlotte, of course, has kept her program for later reflection and, possibly, proofreading. ## The Cambridges ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/shutterstock_9747700n-1531155904.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Shutterstock (9747700n) The Duke and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis after Prince Louis's christening at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace The Christening of Prince Louis, London, UK - 09 Jul 2018 "Daddy, I don't understand how I'm supposed to hold your hand, keep track of my paperwork, and also WAVE. I don't have enough hands!" ## Pippa in Alessandra Rich and godmother Lucy Middleton ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/b11a7294d8a-1531152206.jpg) Exclusive/North America Rights Only - London, UK -20180709-Pippa Middleton & Dad Michael Middleton are seen leaving Pippa's home in Chelsea to go to Prince Louis christening at St James Palace in London.

If you are in violation of our intellectual property rights or copyright you may be liable for damages, loss of income, any profits you derive from the unauthorized use of this material and, where appropriate, the cost of collection and/or any statutory damages awarded I cannot say that I like Pippa's dress -- it's like someone decided to take the stretchy band you see on maternity jeans and design a whole dress around it -- but I DO like that she decided she is NOT wearing pantyhose to this thing. (I assume Kate texted her, "the Queen is ditching, TAKE OFF YOUR HOSE!!") The floral pattern on Lucy Middleton's frock would make fantastic sheets (that's not me being snarky, you know I love bed linens). ## Pips and James Matthews ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/shutterstock_9747700j-1531155863.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Shutterstock (9747700j) Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews arriving for the christening of Prince Louis, the youngest son of the Duke and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace The Christening of Prince Louis, London, UK - 09 Jul 2018 It does look much better from the front. (James Matthews is clearly stricken by the thought that he might be wearing the same tie as one of the princes.) ## James and godmother Laura Meade ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/shutterstock_9747700i-1531155847.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Shutterstock (9747700i) James Matthews (right) arriving for the christening of Prince Louis, the youngest son of the Duke and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace The Christening of Prince Louis, London, UK - 09 Jul 2018 Marshmallow Baron James Middleton looks, as ever, quite dashing. I LOVE Godmother Laura Meade's entire look. ROUND OF APPLAUSE, LAURA.

If you are in violation of our intellectual property rights or copyright you may be liable for damages, loss of income, any profits you derive from the unauthorized use of this material and, where appropriate, the cost of collection and/or any statutory damages awarded Lizzy Pelly is ALSO an American and I like to imagine her sidling up to Meghan at the reception after this thing and whispering, "these hat events are weird, right? Do you want to come over later? I've got a huge stock of American snacks hoarded in one of the guest room wardrobes. Pop-Tarts, Meghan! I've got ALL the flavors. We can talk about how our husbands keep sticking unnecessary "u"s into all their spellings." ## Various Middletons ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/shutterstock_9747700k-1531155878.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Shutterstock (9747700k) Michael and Carole Middleton arriving for the christening of Prince Louis, the youngest son of the Duke and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace The Christening of Prince Louis, London, UK - 09 Jul 2018 Carole Middleton looks very Carole Middleton. I like that her hat resembles a platter that is serving us all a luncheon of flowers. ## Chaz and Cams ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/shutterstock_9747700m-1531155892.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Shutterstock (9747700m) Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall arriving for the christening of Prince Louis, the youngest son of the Duke and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace The Christening of Prince Louis, London, UK - 09 Jul 2018 These two also look very much like themselves; Camilla clearly was like, "I have to wear a giant hat, but if Carole is going for Flower Platter, I'm going to keep it simple." Charles, as ever, has the very best tie/pocket square action in the game. ## St James's Palace ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/07/wenn34899691-1531155452.jpg) Crowds later at St. James's Palace for the christening of Prince Louis of Cambridge in the Chapel Royal Featuring: Atmosphere Where: London, United Kingdom When: 09 Jul 2018 Credit: WENN.com There was a whole crush of people outside St James's to see if they could catch a glimpse of all and sundry. This is, of course, where George was also christened -- and it is where the final scene in *The Royal We* is set. (That's a very spoiler-free way to put that, in case you haven't read the book; i[f you are reading this post, I must say you might enjoy it](https://amzn.to/2KSU3UZ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).)
