Prince William and Kate Middleton seemed to have broken royal protocol during their first child’s christening. In a book titled “Courtiers,” author and royal expert Valentine Low revealed that the Prince and the Princess of Wales didn’t follow the norm at Prince George’s milestone event.
After the first son’s birth in July 2013, the christening took place three months later. At the time, the new parents picked their baby’s grandparents rather than giving the privilege to royal blood relatives.
Prince William and Kate Middleton did things differently at Prince George’s christening, says expert
Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly broke a royal protocol, welcoming a modern era in the monarchy. When their son Prince George’s christening took place in 2013, they didn’t follow the exact traditions. As per the historic traditional norms, a royal child should have six “strictly royal godparents,” including blood relatives.
Valentine Low, a royal expert and author of “Courtiers,” narrated the christening incident. He claimed that the future king and queen didn’t follow this rule during the event. They seemed to represent “something of a break with tradition,” The Daily Mail added the writer’s excerpts.
Instead of six, Prince George had seven godparents, including only one royal member. She was William and Prince Harry’s cousin, Zara Tindall. The latter shared a close bond with the baby’s father and supported him when Princess Diana passed away, so it was “unsurprising” that she was the chosen one. Aside from her, the remaining six were William and Middleton’s close friends rather than royal members.
The selected godparents included Oliver Baker, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Hugh Grosvenor – the Duke of Westminster, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Julia Samuels, and William van Custem. Among them, Low pointed out that Lowther-Pinkerton’s addition was “noteworthy.” Reportedly, he was the heir and his wife’s former private secretary.
“But Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton was their friend. He had been there at the very beginning, before they had their own household,” the author stated. The ex-secretary was seemingly the new parents’ “confidant,” “mentor,” and “older brother.”
