The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby will be baptised on Wednesday surrounded only by his immediate family and close friends of his parents, far removed from traditional royal christenings in Britain.
The third in line to the British throne will be baptised in the little known Chapel Royal at St.James's Palace by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, according to Kensington Palace - the official residence of the William and Kate.
The couple have made it clear that they intend to do things their way when it comes to baby George and have broken a royal tradition by keeping the guest list minimal.
Jason Bell, an award-winning photographer best known for his portraits of rock music and Hollywood royalty, is in the frame to take the official pictures.
Queen Elizabeth II, the Prince's great-grandmother, and William's father Prince Charles, and other "close members of both families" will attend the ceremony.
Kate's parents Michael and Carole Middleton, who have played a key role in supporting the young parents, and her siblings Pippa and James are also expected to be there.
