The prince, who was born on 22 July 2013.
Was baptised on 23 October
by the Archbishop of Canterbury during a private christening
attended by just 22 members of the royal family.
The godparents, announced ahead of the christening,
are Oliver Baker,
Emilia Jardine-Paterson,
Earl Grosvenor,
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton,
Julia Samuel,
William van Cutsem and Zara Tindall.
Mrs Tindall is Prince William's cousin,
while the other six godparents are all friends of the royal couple.
The Cambridges
broke with tradition to have their son christened.
In royal tradition,
christening of royal babies takes place
in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace.
But Prince William and Kate Middleton chose the Chapel Royal for the reasons,
"more personal" than royal.
William and Kate chose Chapel Royal as this is where the body of Diana,
Princess of Wales,
Prince George's paternal grandmother,
rested for five days before her public
funeral on 6 September 1997.
"It's a special place for William.
Having the service there is his way of involving his mother,
who he so wishes could be here for all of this.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a Jane Taylor pill box hat
a custom-made skirt suit that was designed by Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton
- the same designer who crafted her now-famous wedding dress.
while baby George wore a replica of the antique dress his dad and Uncle Harry wore at their own christenings.
