William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, are receiving praise for their “beautiful family” as footage from their youngest son’s 2018 christening has gone viral on social media.

Princess Kate and Meghan Prince Louis' Christening

Prince Louis’ christening, held at St. James’s Palace in London on July 9, 2018, marked the last such celebration for William and Kate’s three children. Senior members of the royal family, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and members of the Middleton family, attended the event.

The video from Louis’ christening was uploaded to TikTok on April 30 by user @dearestadelaidecottage and has garnered over 400,000 views and 8,000 likes. The presence of the royal children at events like their grandfather’s coronation and the Trooping the Colour ceremony has become highly anticipated by fans.

In the absence of new appearances, fans have turned to social media to share footage and posts from past events, including Louis’ christening. Louis wore an ivory lace christening gown, a replica of the historic royal christening gown used since Queen Victoria’s children.

The christening font used for Louis dates back to 1841, and the cake served at the reception was a tier saved from William and Kate’s wedding cake in 2011. Meghan, attending as the Duchess of Sussex, was present at the christening, which took place two months after her marriage to Prince Harry.

Users on TikTok praised the royal family and the event, with many commenting on the family’s beauty and style.
