It was clear for the world to see how overjoyed the Duchess of Cambridge looked when her youngest son, Prince Louis, was baptised at St James's Palace last week. And in the newly-released official photographs, the strong bond between mother-and-son is hugely evident. One of the four pictures, sees the doting mother share a sweet moment with little Louis as she held him in her arms in the garden at Clarence House. There's no denying how enamoured the royal is with her newborn baby.

Royal photographer Matt Holyoak was picked to capture the precious moments between the family. He said in a statement: "I was truly honoured at being asked to take the official photographs at the christening of Prince Louis, and to witness at first hand such a happy event. 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."
