Images: Princess Charlotte's christening

She may be pint-sized, but Britain's newest princess, 9-week-old Charlotte, had the world's attention Sunday during her christening on Queen Elizabeth II's country estate.

The royal family including the queen, her brother, Prince George, her parents, the duke and duchess of Cambridge, and her grandparents turned up for the private ceremony. Guests also included five godparents that William and Kate chose for Charlotte, including William's cousin Laura Fellowes, Kate's cousin Adam Middleton, and three of the couple's friends.

And the unconventional couple Kate and William continued their break from tradition by taking a stroll with their little prince and princess outside of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene to give the waiting public a glimpse of the tiniest royals.

It was only the second time Britain's newborn princess, who is fourth in line to the throne, has been seen in public since she was born on May 2.

Charlotte was dressed for the occasion in a replica of the intricate lace-and-satin christening gown made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, also named Victoria, in 1841. Until 2008, that original gown had been worn by all royal babies - including the queen - at their christenings.

Following royal tradition, holy water from the River Jordan, where it is said Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, was used for the baptism.

The 16th-century church, close to William and Kate's country house Anmer Hall, is where the royal family traditionally gathers for Christmas service. It is also where Charlotte's late grandmother, Princess Diana, was christened in 1961.
