On Sunday, Princess Charlotte was christened at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, the same church where her grandmother, Princess Diana, was baptized.

Her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, pushed her to the church in a pram once used by Queen Elizabeth, and it was the first time the Duke and Duchess were seen in public with both Princess Charlotte and her older brother, Prince George, the BBC reports. Thousands of people greeted the family upon their arrival, along with guests Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Michael, Carole, Pippa, and James Middleton.
