The christening of Prince William and Kate’s firstborn, Prince George of Cambridge (George Alexander Louis, born on 22 July 2013), was marked with a set of commemorative coins. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s baby son was christened at the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace on Oct. 23 2013, just over three months after his birth. The production of the commemorative coins, approved by William, his wife Kate and Queen Elizabeth II, was the first time that new coins are produced to mark a royal christening in Britain.
