Prince William and Kate Middleton News: Details on Princess Charlotte's Christening

Just like any other regular Catholic families, the Royal family of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrated the baptism of their second child after Prince George, Princess Charlotte.

Indeed it was a grand occasion as it is the baptism of their daughter and the fourth in line to the British throne. The christening apparently took place at the St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk. The venue was reportedly a 16th century chapel visited frequently by the royal family.

And guests were also quite honorable including of course, Princess Charlotte's parents, Prince William and Princess Kate as well as her 2-year-old brother Prince George, her 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 ceremony was said to have lasted for only half an hour with The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby who officiated and baptized Princess Charlotte. He had also previously carried out the baptism of her Royal parents' first born, Prince George.

After the ceremony, guests were reportedly requested to go to the Sandringham House for tea and of course some delicious dishes which was the same one seen at Prince George's christening. Not only the food but also apparently Princess Charlotte's attire was also a hand-me-down of her older brother.

Princess Charlotte's gown and Prince George's previous baptismal attire was reportedly a handmade replica of a more than 170-year-old lace and satin royal christening gown, made by Angela Kelly who is a dressmaker to the queen.

Meanwhile, one of the most significant materials of the Princess' Christening was the bowl where she will be baptized. It was at the baptismal font, known as the Lily font that featured the bowl that became trending since the Kensington palace featured it recently in their post on Instagram. "The flute bowl is decorated around the edge with spays of ivy and lilies, considered to represent purity and water lilies were associated with new life," the message said. "It has been a traditional feature of all of The Queen's children and grandchildren's christening since, with the exception of Princess Eugenie, who was christened during morning service at The Church of St Mary Magdalene, at Sandringham," they added.
