“Prince Louis’ Christening Photos Reveal a Relaxed and Close Royal Family”

Kensington Palace has released the official christening pictures of Prince Louis, the newest addition to the royal family, and they are absolutely stunning.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge proudly shared snaps of their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, with their new baby brother.

But that's not all; the pictures also feature the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Kate's parents, Prince Charles and Camilla, as well as Pippa Middleton, her husband James Matthews, and James Middleton.

The photos, taken by Matt Holyoak, show an incredibly close family, with Charlotte looking lovingly at Prince Louis and Meghan and Harry linking arms.

According to author and body language analyst Judy James, there is a unique quality to these poses that could signal a redefining of the royal family going forward.

Unlike other royal gatherings, this one appears totally lacking in tension, and the reason is probably the relationship dynamic.

All the couples in the shot seem to be happily married, and it shows in their ability to produce authentic delight and relaxed warmth for the photos.

The large group shot is equally relaxed, and the power symmetry is telling.

Both of Kate's families line up in bookends fashion to announce what could be a new relaxing of protocol and status rules in the royal family.

Carol stands next to Charles in a very even pose, and Harry is twinned with Kate's brother at the other end of the seat.

Kate has taken a matriarchal role with the Queen's absence by sitting central to the image.

Not only is she the hub of the group, but she also sits with a slight splay as her congruent smile shows she is utterly smitten with the new baby.

Judy also notes the loving look Charlotte is giving her younger brother.

The expert tells us that Charlotte looks equally smitten, her eyes rarely leaving the new baby's face, and she looks genuinely caring and curious about her new baby brother here.
