The four images capturing sweet family moments were taken by celebrity photographer Matt Holyoak, who also captured the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on their 70th wedding anniversary last year,  following the baptism in The Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace.

The portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge cradling her newborn son captures the joyful moment and was taken in the gardens of Clarence House. In a statement, Holyoak said:

 

“Everyone was so relaxed and in such good spirits, it was an absolute pleasure. I only hope I have captured some of that joy in my photographs.”
