The Christening of Prince George

Hi dear bloggers!

In this opportunity, I will tell you about an article of The Guardian (British newspaper). I chose an article that is very entertaining to me, but that is now world-wide and to the British is even more important: the christening of Prince George, son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William and Kate Middleton).

The ceremony took place in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace in London, the Queen and the most senior royals were present as the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. It was a very private affair, where guests were 22, most of the royal family.

One of the curiosities of the ceremony is the number of godparents of Prince George, with the generous quota of seven godparents – one more than his father, the Duke of Cambridge, and one fewer than his grandfather, the Prince of Wales.

Also what caught my attention at the christening was the costume he wore the little prince, being a replica of a historical piece that Queen Victoria ordered manufactured in 1841 for the christening of his eldest daughter.

This was Prince George's second public outing (his first being at one day old as he left the Lindo Wing at St Mary's hospital, Paddington).

I hope you like this article, Regards :)
