Earlier this week, royal fans were graced with yet another new baby photo. These royal childhood pics have been coming our way fast and furious as of late (like Charles Spencer's throwback image of him and Princess Diana headed to school in their primary school uniforms).

This time, the baby pic comes from the official Instagram accounts of Louis and Marie Ducruet. Louis, the eldest son of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, and his wife shared a beautiful selection of moments from their one year-old daughter Victoire's christening. In the main image from the Instagram post, the young couple poses in front of the christening tub in a gorgeous church decorated with stained glass windows.

Marie wore a cream chiffon dress with cross strap detailing for the occasion while her husband Louis wore a navy suit, white shirt and matching navy tie. Victoire was wearing a little white gown with short cap-sleeves. She also donned white ballet flats with rosettes on the straps. Her hair was adorably pulled back into two tiny ponytails, fastened with bows. Marie also wore low heeled shoes with ruched strap detailing in a coordinated mini-me moment. We have also yet to see Victoire's face or the faces of the younger members of the Monegasque royal family on the couple's Instagram with Marie and Louis typically covering the children's faces with emojis to honor their privacy.

Marie is also currently pregnant with the couple's second child which was announced back in June in an adorable post also shared on Instagram featuring young Victoire and the family pup Pancake.

The couple was all smiles during the christening this week in which dozens of members of the royal family were in attendance. On Instagram, the photo carousel that was posted featured a shot of the couple posing in the center of a crowd of relatives on the steps of the church.

Princess Stéphanie, younger sister to Prince Albert, the current ruling monarch of Monaco, though often busy with her royal duties, plays an active role in her granddaughter Victoire's life. The royal has repeatedly offered to care for her. Her son Louis spoke with Hello! about his mother's generosity saying, "She gives a lot of love to her grandchild. My mother has a busy schedule, but whenever it allows, she asks to look after Victoire. When she was born, my mother often asked us: ‘Do you want to go out to the cinema? I can look after the baby.'"

It's sounds like Princess Stéphanie takes her roles as both a royal and grandmother very seriously. And we're wishing her all the best as she celebrates Victoire's christening.
