Outside St James's Palace crowds gathered to catch a
glimpse of Kate and William's baby son, who was today seen in public for only
the second time since he was born in July. Some royal watchers camped outside the palace for more than 24 hours to obtain a good vantage point to watch the guests arrive, but the ceremony was private. Britain's three-month-old future
monarch, Prince George, wearing a long christening robe, arrived in his
father's arms with his mother by their side, and appeared to wave at his
great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, although it was really a case of William
moving his son's hand up and down; they joined the few royals attending his
baptism, described as an 'intimate family affair'. Only the Queen, The Duke of
Edinburgh, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry saw the
heir to the throne baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most
Reverend Justin Welby, in the little known Chapel Royal this afternoon.
William and Kate hired photographer Jason Bell to take
official pictures, which are expected to include a historic multi-generational
photograph of the queen with three future monarchs: her son Charles, her
grandson William and her great-grandson George.
