Princess Charlotte, the two-month-old daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton and the fourth in line to the British throne, was christened on Sunday in England.
The baby was joined by her parents, brother Prince George, who is almost 2, great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, grandparents Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Michael and Carole Middleton and the Duchess of Cambridge's siblings Pippa Middleton and James Middleton. Charlotte had five godparents at the ceremony.
The christening took place in St. Mary Magdalene Church, a 16th-century chapel long frequented by the royal family, in Sandringham, Norfolk. William's late mother Princess Diana was christened there in 1961. Water from the River Jordan was used during the baptism, as it was during George's 2013 christening, which took place in London.
Kate and William were photographed arriving with George and Charlotte, with the little boy holding his dad's hand and the baby being pushed in a carriage by her mother. The Millson pram is the same one the queen used for her two youngest children, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a white Alexander Mcqueen dress coat, a matching Jane Taylor hat and nude pumps, the outlet said. William sported a navy suit, blue shirt and plum tie.
George wore a white, short sleeve shirt with a rounded collar and red markings, paired with a pair of red shorts, white socks and black shoes - an almost identical outfit to one worn by his father when he went to visit his brother Prince Harry hours after his birth in 1984. (See more pictures of the family at Charlotte's christening). Harry was unable to attend. He is on a charity visit to Africa. He had also missed Charlotte's birth on May 2, as he was in Australia at the time.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, baptized Charlotte. He had also carried out George's baptism.
