The three-month-old future king was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace yesterday in an historic ceremony which brought together four generations of the Royal Family. His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge put on a perfect display of royal etiquette as he was christened with the eyes of the world on him. See pictures after the cut...
The Archbishop of Canterbury told the congregation in the Holbein-painted chapel that George’s parents and godparents had a ‘simple task’ – to ‘make sure he knows who this Jesus is’.
There were just 23 guests present, giving the christening a feel of a family gathering. The guest list for the christening left out senior members of the family including Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne, which came as a surprise to some. It did, however, result in the ‘intimacy’ the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge craved.
