When Prince George was christened, so long ago that it's ridiculous that I'm still writing about it, there were inevitable comparisons between his christening and that of his parents, and between his christening and that of other royal babies christened in the near past.
I don't think it right to compare it to the christenings of Princesses Estelle and Athena, who were the only babies born in the last two years, because a)Their position relative to the crown varies; Estelle is second in line, George is third in line, and Athena is far enough down the line to not even have the slightest chance of being Queen (tenth), b)Different countries, different traditions, and c)These baby royals aren't related to each other in any way, so there will be absolutely no resemblance. Which is why this post will cover only the christenings of Prince George's parents, even though one of them was born a commoner (The title is a bit misleading, yes).
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton
June 20th, 1982
A random fun fact is that Catherine (Kate. Call her what you want) was christened one day before Prince William was born. At the time she was christened, she was five and a half months old, a full two and half months older than three-month old Prince George at the time of his christening. But, like baby George, she had a massive head, almost as big as her mother's (Prince George also has a massive head, but there aren't any pictures of him here because there are quite enough in the previous posts). Although, I suppose that's because she's almost twice his age.
I guess Prince George looks like her.
Prince William Arthur Philip Louis
August 4, 1982
Prince William, in this picture, was not even three months old. Or even two months old. Must be a royal baby thing, to be christened as early as possible.
Anyway, his christening took place in the Music Room in Buckingham Palace, as opposed to his future wife's which just took place at her local chapel. It was all very traditional and boring and the Queen Mother was there, here is a picture of Prince William stealing the show at his brother's christening.
I guess Prince George looks like him, too.
Actually, Prince George doesn't look like anyone. He's a baby. He looks like a baby. People should stop trying to figure out which of his parents he looks more like and just leave the family be.
And, with that sentiment, I conclude my four part christening special. I hope that no one who read it completely despised it. If you did, I'm sorry. Go read something on Royal Central instead. It's a really good website. Unless it's me you have a problem with, in which case don't. I write for Royal Central too.
No post next Sunday.
