Prince George’s Christening Details Revealed!
Prince George will be christened on October 23 at 3pm in the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace, Kensington Palace confirmed today. The Archbishop of Canterbury will perform the baptism, which is expected to last about 45 minutes. The future heir to the throne will be dressed in a replica of the lace and satin christening gown made for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Victoria, in 1841. The Earl and Countess of Wessex’s son Viscount Severn became the first royal baby to wear the new robe at his christening in 2008.

Prince William revealed that he wasn’t too focused on the game, despite scoring the winning goal for his team – “I was in baby mode out there, thinking about nappies, I wasn’t really in the zone,” and added that it was, “good to get out of the house” for the afternoon. Living with his in-laws and his newborn son, one can imagine that an afternoon off was much needed.

The second in line to the throne is currently on paternity leave but is expected to return to work sometime next week. An announcement on his future plans- whether he plans to stay in the Royal Air Force or take on more royal duties- is expected within the next few months.
