It was a private ceremony but a nearby paddock was opened for wellwishers to watch as they leave the church, with the duchess pushing her nine-week-old princess in a vintage pram which the Queen had used for two of her children. It was the first time the family of four had been seen together in public. A Kensington Palace spokesman said: “The Duke of Duchess of Cambridge and their whole family had a wonderful day on Sunday and were delighted to share the special occasion with the thousands of people who came to Sandringham. They are very happy to share these photographs and hope that everyone enjoys them as much as they do.”TESTINO PHOTOGRAPHS PRINCESS CHARLOTTE’S ROYAL CHRISTENING PORTRAITSThe group shot, taken in the drawing room of the Queen’s private Norfolk residence, shows Prince William, Prince George, the Duchess of Cambridge holding her daughter and the Queen.
