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 by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, in the little known Chapel Royal this afternoon. Kate's family - parents Carole and Michael Middleton and siblings Pippa and James - also looked thrilled to be there.

Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton both gave readings at the christening. Prince George will have seven godparents, including Zara Phillips and six of his parents' close friends. William and Kate chose two hymns, two lessons and two anthems for the service, Kensington Palace revealed. The first lesson, from the Gospel of St Luke, Ch 18, verses 15-17, was read by Miss Middleton, who was Kate's maid of honour at the couple's wedding. The second, from St John's gospel, chapter 15, verses 1-5, was read by Prince Harry. The two hymns at the service were Breathe on Me, Breath of God and Be Thou My Vision.
