Prince George’s christening took place at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace on October 23 2013 in the afternoon.
The star of the event, Prince George wore a Honiton lace and ivory satin gown that is an exact replica of one worn 172 years ago by Queen Victoria’s first born. Click here for more on the christening gown and pictures of other royals at their christening.
The Duchess wore an ivory ruffled Alexander McQueen suit with a straw pillbox hat from Jane Taylor. The hat is called Georgie and described on Jane Taylor as “Sophisticated Sinamay beret with delicate ivory silk/organza rose & classic veiling trim. Worn in sinamay, with an ivory handmade rose, by The Duchess of Cambridge to Prince George’s Christening on 23rd October 2013.” She also had her Kiki McDonough citrine earrings.
Her ivory ruffled suit by Alexander McQueen is a version of the collarless ruffled blazer from the designer’s SS12 collection. It appears that the ruffles on the Duchess’s version is more subtle. The Duchess worn her jacket with a matching skirt that is flared or a full skirt as compared to the stock photo of Alexander McQueen which matches the jacket with a straight cut skirt. From the last photo, you can see that the peplum on the Duchess’s version is also slightly shorter and more subtle.
The rest of the ladies from Prince George’s family wore shades of blue and cream. Bright blue for the queen, ivory pearls for Camilla, a navy and cream combination for Carol and an ivory dress coat for Pippa.
The godparents include Zara Tindall, the only member of the royal family to be godparents and William and Harry’s Private Secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.
The Duchess’s old school friend Emilia Jardine-Paterson, family friend William van Cutsem, the couple’s university friend Oliver Baker, the Duke of Westminster’s son Hugh Grosvenor, and Julia Samuel, an old friend of Princess Diana’s were also invited to be godparents.
