Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge Christened

Prince George made his first public appearance, surrounded by family at an intimate christening ceremony at Saint James's Palace. The event marked a shift in royal traditions, with Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge choosing close friends from university as godparents, reflecting a modern approach to monarchy. The ceremony was private, with readings by Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton, and featured a replica gown from Queen Victoria's era. The public, though unable to witness the ceremony, expressed excitement about the future king. Historic photographs were taken, capturing the young prince with three future monarchs.
