George's Christening

[Purple_Popple]

If Will's mother was Diana. .. what relation would Diana's brother Charles Spencer be to George ?

[EcclesCake]

Great Uncle?

[Psybbo]

Grand uncle

[Purple_Popple]

Thanks! Guess he wouldn't get a look in at George's christening then. :(

[ummmm]

Why wouldn't he? He's Williams Uncle....

[2sp_]

I would have thought he would be invited?

[EcclesCake]

It was immediate family and god parents. I can't see the slight to the Spencer's that you are implying PP!?!?

Nice spot for the christening IMHO.

[jno]

a very small group, only a handful of "senior royals" and Middletons plus the godparents. This was probably done precisely to keep out the accumulating number of black sheep brought into the fold through royal marriages in recent years.

[Purple_Popple]

I have no idea of he was present to be honest.

I thought the christening gown was awful, more for a girl than a boy.

We were trying to figure out who he looks like. I think he`s got the Spencer forehead.

[anneasquith]

i think he looks like andy, is it new royal protocol to kiss ones queen on the left shoulder ? :)

The Christening gown is a reproduction of one that was made in Queen Victoria's reign, and which has been used at practically every royal Christening ever since. The original is now very fragile and is stored safely away - and so a replica has been made.

I haven't checked but I thought George immediately reminded me of William as a baby.

[naomi24]

The gown.

Still looked awful to me imo, bit like an old net curtain!

[ClaryS]
