A History of Royal Baby Christenings

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first child, Prince George, made headlines around the world when he was born in the Summer of 2013. He was in the spotlight again later that year when he made his first official appearance at his christening, held at St. James's Palace in London, and now there's news that Princess Charlotte will have her own ceremony on July 5. The important event will take place at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene on Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate, where Princess Diana was also baptized. Being christened is a long-held practice in the royal family, as baptism is a sacrament in the Church of England, of which the monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II, is supreme governor.

As we get excited for history to repeat itself, we're taking a look back at the many princes and princesses of the British royal family who have marked this unique milestone.
