Prince George and his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived at St James Palace for the christening of the future king.
Outside St James’s Palace crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the heir the throne, his mother and father, and the handful of royals attending the baptism described as an ‘intimate family affair’.
Only five senior royals, the Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry will see the heir to the throne baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, in the little known Chapel Royal this afternoon.
Kate’s family — parents Carole and Michael Middleton and siblings Pippa and James — are also invited, along with the godparents, who have also been announced.
It came as the Cambridges revealed they have chosen old friends and only one royal, Zara Tindall, to be godparents to three-month-old George.
Meanwhile royal well-wishers have spent a rain-soaked night outside St James’s Palace but thankfully the dark clouds, which had threatened to taint the big day during the morning, cleared just in time, Daily Mail informs.
