The ceremony:

  • Only the parents, grandparents, siblings, nanny and godparents and their partners attended
  • There were two hymns for the christening: ‘Breathe on Me, Breath of God’ and ‘Be Thou My Vision’
  • There were two bible readings, read by Pippa Middleton and Prince Harry read from St Luke and St John, respectfully
  • And, to round this off, there were two anthems: ‘Blessed Jesu! Here we Stand’ (written for William’s baptism in 1982) and ‘The Lord Bless You and Keep You’
  • Organ music included Bach’s Fantasia in G, and Widor’s Toccata from Symphony No. 5
  • After the service, grandparents Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall hosted a private tea in Clarence House, with the christening cake being a tier taken from William and Kate’s wedding cake.
