It was the big event at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham in England. The christening ceremony on Queen Elizabeth II’s country estate.
Charlotte is fourth in line to the throne and this is only the fourth time she has been seen in public since she was born.
The 16th-century church is where Charlotte’s late grandmother, Princess Diana, was christened in 1961. Fans from as far afield as Australia and the US patiently lined up outside the church, hoping to get a glimpse of the baby as the royals arrive and leave.
Charlotte was dressed for the occasion in a replica of the intricate lace-and-satin christening gown made for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, also named Victoria, in 1841.
Hundreds of fans cheered as William and Kate arrived with toddler Prince George and 9-week-old Charlotte, who was in a vintage pram.
Sunday’s event saw William, Kate, George and Charlotte appear in public for the first time as a family of four.
The ceremony was private — the queen, her husband Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Kate’s family were among a small group of guests allowed inside.
