Britain’s Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and his wife Kate, was christened on Sunday as crowds gathered to witness the family’s first public outing together since her birth in May. The ceremony took place at St. Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham estate in eastern England.
Television pictures showed members of the public clapping, cheering and taking photographs as William and Kate left the church with Britain’s newest royal, who is fourth in line to the throne, and her older brother George. Prince William’s office said the couple had chosen five friends and family members to be Charlotte’s godparents.
The christening was conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welb, who also oversaw the christening of Prince George.
