After his christening, this is the first time Archie appeared in public. He was dressed in white and blue baby dungarees and looked exactly like his father when he was a baby.

"There's all sorts of things there. It's so important to be able to share with other families...you're all in this together and with each other and so we just wanted to share something from our home to each of yours," the duchess reportedly said presenting Archie's stuff that doesn't fit him anymore.
