The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have thanked well-wishers with a sweet photograph of Kate and Prince Louis following their baby son's christening.

Kate, 36, and William, also 36, have been sending thank you cards to fans featuring the Duchess holding baby Louis, now six-months-old, in her arms as he gave an adorable wide grin.

The heartwarming picture was taken by photographer Matt Porteous in the gardens of Clarence House, following Louis' christening in July.

In a separate note to well-wishers, the Duke and Duchess also acknowledged the delay in responding to fans due to the 'enormous volume' of letters received.

In a message inside the card (above), Prince William and Kate said they are 'so grateful for all the wonderful messages they have received'

The thank you card was shared on Instagram by fan account swedens.royal.family, who wrote to Kate and William in July.

The message inside the card read: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were touched that you took the trouble to write on the occasion of the Baptism of their son, Prince Louis.

'Their Royal Highnesses are so grateful for all the wonderful messages they have received and send you their warmest thanks and best wishes'.

A separate note added: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hope you will understand that, due to the enormous volume of correspondence received in the last few months, it has not been possible to reply to you until now.'

The photograph of Kate and Prince Louis in his christening gown, taken in the gardens of Clarence House, was released by Kensington Palace in July, in addition to four official portraits

Sharing the picture on social media, the Palace said: 'The Duke and Duchess hope that everyone enjoys this lovely photograph of Prince Louis as much as they do.'

Photographer Matt Porteous was asked by William and Kate to take some private shots for their personal family album, in addition to the 'historic' formal portraits captured by official photographer Matt Holyoak.

But aides said the couple loved this particular shot of Kate and baby Louis so much that they decided to release it to the public.

Meghan and Prince Harry have also apologised for their late thank you cards - as they continue to send well-wishers messages more than five months after the royal wedding

The message inside the card read: 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been overwhelmed by all the incredibly kind cards and letters they have received on the occasion of their Wedding, and are so touched that you took the trouble to write as you did'

The latest thank you letters from Kate and William come after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also apologised for the delay in sending out their thank you cards to well-wishers, more than five months after their wedding in May.

A royal fan revealed last week that she only received her thank you note this week, accompanied by a letter of apology from Kensington Palace.

Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, have been sending fans cards featuring their official black-and-white wedding portrait, taken outside St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, in May by photographer Alexi Lubomirski.

The head of general correspondence, Claudia Spens, explained how it had been a 'particularly busy time for this office', meaning that they have been 'unable to reply as quickly as we would have liked to'.
