Prince George of Cambridge

On 23rd of October the Prince George Alexander Louis, third in line to the throne, was baptised in the Royal Chapel at St Jame's Palace in London by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The ceremony was private, with only the royal family, some members of the Middleton family, the seven godparents and some best friends of the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge.
After the ceremony the royal family and the guests left the chapel for drink tea at Buckingham Palace, the Queen told to the guests how much she had enjoyed the ceremony. "It was very nice thought, wasn't it?" she told to the Archbishop.
Now we know the names of the godparents, they are Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Earl Grosvenor, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, William van Cutsem and Zara Tindall. Mrs Tindall is Prince William's cousin, the others godparents are all friends of the royal couple.
Prince George was baptised in a replica of the dress of Victoria, the Princess in 1841.
After the ceremony, Jason Bell a famous photographer was waiting to take a picture of the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George together.

I love this news because it's a traditional ceremony for the Royal family and it's beautiful and so elegant. I love the custom of the Royal baby wearing the traditional dress.
