Princess Charlotte's christening today was a private family affair to celebrate the newest member of the House of Windsor. But the ceremony in a small sandstone church in the eastern English countryside also offered a carefully crafted opportunity to put the public spotlight — briefly — on the youngest royal, who is fourth in line to the throne, and her family. Hundreds of members of the public from as far afield as the U.S. and Australia waited and watched from the paddock near St. Mary Magdalene Church on the Queen's Sandringham estate, where the two-month-old daughter of Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, formally received her history-laden name: Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
