Overjoyed Duchess of Cambridge’s Stylist Welcomes Second Child Before Christmas
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is thrilled to hear the news that her longtime stylist, Natasha Archer, and her royal photographer husband, Chris Jackson, have welcomed their second child just days before Christmas.
The couple's three-year-old son was captured in a heartwarming moment, dressed in festive red, white, and green pajamas, gently caressing his baby brother's head with a glowing Christmas tree in the background.
Jackson shared the touching photo with a caption that expressed the surprise and joy of finding a new baby brother when looking for Eddie the elf in the morning.
Archer and Jackson tied the knot in April 2017, and their first child, Theo, was born in December 2018, shortly after the arrival of Prince Louis, the third child of Catherine and Prince William, who is now three years old.
Archer, who has been instrumental in transforming the Duchess of Cambridge's image from a girl-next-door to the elegant princess admired worldwide, has been working with Catherine since 2007.
Initially hired as a personal assistant, Archer transitioned into being part of the Duchess' glam team, assisting in wardrobe selections for official events and tours, and ensuring Catherine looked impeccable even post-childbirth.
Following the birth of Prince Louis in April 2018, Archer was seen leaving St Mary's Hospital before Catherine and Prince William presented their newborn to the public outside the Lindo Wing.
In 2019, the Duke of Cambridge honored Natasha by appointing her as a member of the Royal Victorian Order in a special ceremony at the palace, recognizing her dedicated service to the royal family.
The Royal Victorian Order distinctions are bestowed by the Queen to individuals who have served the monarch or other royal members in a significant capacity.
After the ceremony, Jackson, who has been capturing moments of the royal family for nearly two decades, shared photos of Natasha outside the palace, expressing his pride in her achievement.
Known for his extensive work with the royals, Jackson has accompanied them on various official engagements worldwide, including the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Cambridges.
Recently, Jackson was the photographer behind the lens at Prince William's Earthshot Prize Awards, adding to his portfolio that includes documenting historic occasions such as Middleton and Prince William's wedding and the births of their children.
