William, Kate, George and Charlotte Stroll to Church for Charlotte's Christening

This was the nation's first glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with both of their children as Prince George joined the royal couple for his younger sister Princess Charlotte's christening this afternoon.

The family of four made the journey to the church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham together for the private ceremony, attended by just 21 official guests including the Queen and Prince Philip as well as other close family members and the nine-week old princess's five godparents.

Kate, dressed all in ivory, pushed Charlotte in a traditional-style black pram while George - who turns two on July 22 - walked alongside his parents, clutching his father's hand tightly.

It is only the second time Princess Charlotte has been seen in public, and the first time the family have been photographed together. Click link for full post from The Daily Mail.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
