Outside St James’s Palace in Central London, crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the heir the throne, who was today seen in public for only the second time since he was born in July. The three-month-old prince, wearing a long christening robe, was carried by his beaming mother and father who joined the handful of royals attending his 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 – saw the heir to the throne baptised. The service was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, in the little-known Chapel Royal.
