Royal christening: how mum and dad did it

Another snap will be added to the Cambridge family album today.  George's christening will sit alongside those of both his parents in the trips down memory lane that belong to all families.  William's baptism was grand and public, Kate's was quiet and private and took place just a day before her future husband was born.  George's will be quiet, his parents hope, but still a major event.  A mix of the two traditions that William and Kate will bring to the monarchy that they, and George, will lead in the future.
