Yesterday, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was christened at a church in Sandringham, right after Will and Kate made their first public outing with George and Charlotte as a family of four.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge pushed the princess in a pram that belonged to the Queen and in which was used for two of her own children, including Charlotte’s grandpa, Prince Charles.
Ahead of the christening held at the Church of St Mary Magdalene (the same church in which Diana was christened), Will and Kate announced that they had chosen 5 godparents for Charlotte.
- Lady Laura Fellowes – William’s cousin and niece of the late Diana (another touching tribute to honour Diana’s memory)
- Adam Middleton – Kate’s cousin whose wedding she attended last year
- Sophie Carter – a very close friend of Kate’s
- Thomas van Straubenzee – Will’s childhood friend
- Jeames Meade – Will’s friend from Eton
Neither Harry nor Pippa were selected as godparents with the reason reportedly being that they have the title of ‘aunt’ and ‘uncle’ which is already important and close enough roles in Charlotte’s life.
