Prince George made his first public appearance in three
months today, as he arrived with his parents, Prince William and
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, for his christening at St. James's
Palace.
The
baby prince smiled as he was shown off to family members including his
great-grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, before the
royals entered the Chapel Royal.
George was dressed in an
elaborate lace and satin christening gown that's a replica of one made
in 1841 for the christening of Queen Victoria's eldest daughter.
Being
baptised into the church is more significant for George than for most
people, since he is in line to become king, which would also make him
the supreme governor of the Church of England.
The
occasion has been kept uncharacteristically small, in a shift away from
the larger ceremonies that his father and grandfather enjoyed at
Buckingham Palace.
His grandfather Prince Charles and uncle,
Prince Harry, are among the select few invited to the ceremony, along
with Catherine's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her
siblings, James and Pippa.
