The new snap is of the royal family posing together following the church service in the Drawing Room at Sandringham House.
Unlike the original images, this new picture only has William’s side of the family.’
The Queen, Prince William and Catherine are seated with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, as Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Phillip stand behind them.
George famously melted our hearts at his little sister’s big day.
“Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II 90th birthday, long live the Queen! Here shooting the royal family at Sandringham House on the occasion of Princess Charlotte’s christening,” Mario captioned.
Charlotte’s christening took place at St. Mary Magdalene church on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate on 5 July 2015 when Charlotte was just two months old.
The pretty Princess was dressed in a golden replica of a Victorian christening gown made by the Queen’s dressmaker Angela Kelly.
Meanwhile cheeky George donned red shorts and an embroidered shirt by British designer Rachel Riley.
Mario admitted he was “overwhelmed and honoured” after being chosen to photograph the royal christening. The beloved celebrity photographer is a favourite of the royal family.
He snapped Prince William’s 21st birthday, William and Kate’s iconic engagement photos, and even photographed Princess Diana for Vanity Fair back in 1997.
