Prince George will be christened on Wednesday, October 23 at 11 am (that’s 6 am EDT, 3 am PDT). The ceremony will be at the Chapel Royal, St. James’s Palace. More from Richard Palmer’s story in the Express:
"The Prince, who is third-in-line to the throne, will be three months and one day old. Afterwards, however, there will be photographs released of William, Kate, and their baby son. Aides expect they will include an historic picture of the Queen with three future monarchs – her son Charles, grandson William, and great grandson George."
The Archbishop said he is "...delighted to conduct the baptism". The Chapel Royal is where Princess Diana’s coffin lay for nearly a week following her death in 1997. The most recent christening of a royal baby at the Chapel Royal was Princess Beatrice’s in 1988.

Clarence House shared news that William and Kate have a new coat of arms, officially it is the Conjugal Coat of Arms.

The Daily Mail’s story has a graphic that better shows the elements used in the design.

See, that's what you get when you don't have the BBC! No clue as to what is going on! Mind you, it has probably been in the news here as well, but I am not much for paper reading!

Thanks for sharing this info; I had not clue. Fascinating and I can't wait to see the family photos.
One of my student's birthdays is tomorrow. He's going to be 5, and is really excited! :) Pretty neat that the prince will also be christened on the same day.
Ahhh I love you keep me updated. I so miss out on all the royal news.
They make such a nice looking couple; happy with them for the baby and they seem well rooted with how they are raising him, even at his young age :)

Hey that is so cool - if you see that picture of the four of them be sure and post it - I love that kind of thing!
