Prince Charlesis one proud (and stylish!) grandpa!
Fans got only a small glimpse of the royal family at Archie’s christening over the weekend through an official portrait released on Prince Harry andMeghan Markle‘s Instagram page. However, that one photo was enough to see that Charles continued his tradition of wearing a pink flower for his grandchildren’s christenings.
The Queen’s eldest son accessorized his navy suit with a light blue tie and Dianthus Devon Wizard on his lapel. AsHello!magazinenotes, he is a keen gardener, and the brightly colored flower grows in the garden of Charles’ country home, Highgrove House.

Prince Charlesdid not wear the flower for the christening of his eldest grandchild,Prince George. However,Kate MiddletonandPrince William’s son was baptized in Oct. 2013, and the flower may have simply been out of season.
Charlotte, Louis and Archie’s birthdays are very close together — Louis on April 23, Charlotte on May 2 and Archie on May 6 — so their christenings all took place in the summer.
“I am about to have another grandchild actually. I suspect quite a few of you may too have grandchildren or will do soon,” he said, according to theTelegraph. “It does seem to me insanity if we are going to bequeath this completely polluted, damaged and destroyed world to them.”
Charles continued, “All grandchildren deserve a better future.”
