Britain's Prince George was christened in a service attended by just 21 guests, a small and private ceremony for a baby whose parents want to shield him from too much media intrusion.
Prince William, whose mother Diana was hounded by paparazzi and died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, and his wife Kate invited only very close family and godparents to the ceremony in the 16th century St. James's Palace in central London.
