August was christened in November, in a small ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor.

The post came as the princess looked back on the year that passed.

She captioned her images: "Happy New Year to all...Goodbye 2021. A year that blessed us with our boy and saw our family grow with new additions but also a year that took some of our biggest and brightest lights. Forever in our hearts ♥️."
