Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was christened earlier today (6 July) in a private ceremony – and the official photos have just been released by Buckingham Palace.

The pictures of the two-month-old were taken by fashion photographer Chris Allerton, following the small service in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle.

And it goes without saying that the youngest royal looks utterly adorable in the pictures.

Two images have been released, including a black and white shot of young Archie in the arms of his adoring mum.

The Duchess of Sussex looked stunning in a white Dior dress, with her hair worn down up in an elegant chignon. She completed her look with matching white hat.

A second shot shows Archie surrounded by his parents and senior members of the royal family, including the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who looked equally stunning in a pink Stella McCartney dress with a coordinating headband.

Archie's grandmother, Doria Ragland, and the late Princess Diana's sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, were also in attendance.

Harry and Meghan also shared the photos on their official Instagram account, @sussexroyal.

The caption reads: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment.

"Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie."

Details of the intimate service – including the identity of Archie's godparents – have remained private.

Buckingham Palace revealed in a statement released earlier this week: "Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will be christened in a small private ceremony by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday 6th July.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex look forward to sharing some images taken on the day by photographer Chris Allerton.

"The godparents, in keeping with their wishes, will remain private."

We can't wait to see more and more photos of Archie as he grows up!
