Prince George 2013, Chapel Royal |
The tiny princess will be christened this coming Sunday 5th July at 4.30pm. The service will take place in St Mary Magdalene church on the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's country home Anmer Hall is close by and as a special gesture towards the local residents, the paddock adjacent to the church will be opened for the public to congregate.
It is thought that William, Catherine, young George and baby Charlotte ( in a pram or held by her parents) will walk along the path between Sandringham House and St Mary Magdalene. This will give the public a chance to view the family together for the first time.
The Queen, Prince Philip, the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, and members of Catherine's family will be present. However Prince Harry will miss the event as he is spending three months in Africa in relation to his charity work.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will perform Charlotte Elizabeth Diana's christening, supported by Reverend Canon Jonathan Riviere of the Sandringham churches group.
St Mary Magdalene is the church where William and Harry's late mother Diana (below right) was christened in August 1961. At the time Diana's family were living in Park House also on the Queen's estate.
