Christening of Viscount Severn

James was christened in the private chapel at Windsor Castle today. He wore a replica of Princess Victoria’s 1841 Honiton lace christening gown. The names of the five godparents for Viscount Severn are Alistair Bruce, Duncan Bullivant, Thomas Hill, Jeanye Irwin and Denise Poulton. The service was presided over by the Dean of Windsor, Rt Rev David Conner. The viscount is Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh’s eighth grandchild.
