The Duchess of Cambridge's stylist Natasha Archer is getting ready to welcome her first baby with husband, royal photographer Chris Jackson, and over the weekend they held a baby shower to remember! On Instagram, Chris shared photos of their celebrations held in Barnes, south west London, which included a personalised cake with the words Baby Jackson, an iced centre piece of a baby in a blue baby grow. Guests also tucked into iced cupcakes decorated with a baby wearing a blue hat, and others featuring tiny feet and a baby grow. Natasha herself posed for photographs in front of the display of food, which also included miniature boxes of popcorn, breadsticks and iced biscuits. The table display, meanwhile, was decorated with gorgeous flowers by The Odd Flower.

Guests sat around the couple's flat to eat the baked goods and enjoy a glass of prosecco – minus Natasha! They also watched Natasha open her gifts, which included a babygrow printed with cherries.

The couple's baby will be close in age to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son Louis, who was born in April. Chris took some gorgeous photographs of Louis and his family to mark Prince Charles' 70th birthday last month, which featured in the Sunday Times.

In the interview, Chris revealed that Charles was at his happiest surrounded by his grandchildren. "It was lovely chaos with the children," he said. "He is a very hands-on grandfather. He was holding hands with George and Charlotte, and bouncing Louis up and down for a long time. George was very happy on the prince's knee. They have a great relationship that's a little more established, as George is a bit older."
