Kate Middleton and Prince William christened their son Prince George today in London at the Chapel Royal at St. James' Palace in the presence of 23 guests George's seven godparents and the six spouses among them; Kate's parents and siblings Pippa and James; the queen and Prince Phillip; Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Prince Harry; and William's former nanny turned George's part-time nanny, Jessie Webb. .
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, reminded George's proud parents that their heavenly task going forward is to make sure that their son knows "who this Jesus is."
"Speak of him, read stories about him. Introduce him in prayer. Help him to grow and flourish into the person God has created and has called him to be," the archbishop continued.
Only 23 guests witnessed the christening:
They all headed back to Clarence House for tea and the top tier of Will and Kate's wedding cake. It's a British tradition for couples to freeze the top of their cake and then serve it at their firstborn child's baptism.
