Prince George to be christened
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son Prince George will be christened this afternoon in front of close family and friends of his parents. His godparents will be revealed later this morning.
People have camped outside since yesterday afternoon!
On my friends birthday too. Apparently Zara (daughter of Princess Anne) is going to be named a godparent.
If it means another bank holiday (doubtful) I'd care a whole lot more!
They've chosen to break tradition and have him christened at the very location Diana's coffin rested before her funeral.
his dress is hilarious

Really, it doesn't interest me in the slightest. As an atheist, this is just pointless water splashing to me.
They based it on the dress of Queen Victoria's Eldest Daughter... not sure why!!Quote:

ok this isn't relevant to this but jw do we get a day off on the 29th cos of that royal wedding stuff? prefer not to go into school on my birthday ok xo
I don't really ever see the interest in these sort of things. I assume hundreds of babies on that day will be christened so why care about just this one? He's no different to any other baby other than his 'royal status'. Eh I just don't really believe or whatever in all this stuff xD

The Daily Mail had some great pictures of the family afterwards that I can't find now, but most of all this is the most interesting...

All of those people, barring unforeseen circumstances, will be the Head of State of this country and other Commonwealth realms for the rest of most of our lives. I think that's amazing and it's a nod to show the stability that Monarchy brings. But anyway, apparently it's the first time since around 1899 that such a picture has been taken...

The people in that picture (taken 1894) would go on to be (after the death of the Queen-Empress) Edward VIII, George V and Edward VII.
