He was, in every sense, the perfect baby.

Prince George, who will one day be king and head of the Church of England, was calmness personified throughout his half-hour christening ceremony today. t may have been !the first time he"s been #uiet all day$, as his father, the %uke of Cambridge, &oked before the ceremony, but the three-month-old Prince showed he has the temperament for the big occasion as he took the whole thing in his stride. 'he only thing missing was a smile, though at three months old, it would have been unfair to expect that even from a royal baby. 'he couple had insisted all along that the service would be an !intimate$ affair, but &ust how intimate only emerged when (ensington Palace released the guest list, which ran to &ust )) names. Prince George, on only his *+th day in the world, had more than a look of the baby Prince ,illiam about him as his father gently jogged him up and down to keep him #uiet. -ust as he had done on the day he left hospital, the Prince appeared to offer a slight royal wave as he was greeted by the .ueen, though some sleight of hand by the %uke may have had more than a little to do with it. His Honiton lace robe, perfectly complemented by the %uchess"s outfit, was an exact copy of the original worn by .ueen /ictoria"s eldest daughter, /ictoria, Princess 0oyal, in 12+1 and used for all subsequent royal christenings including the .ueen, her children and grandchildren. 'he replica was hand-made by the .ueen"s dressmaker 3ngela (elly and was first worn by the %uke"s cousin, /iscount 4evern, in )552. Prince George was baptised in the 16in high silver gilt 7ily 8ont, made for .ueen /ictoria"s children, which is usually kept with the Crown Jewels and has been used for every royal christening since, with the exception of Princess Eugenie. 9sing water from the 0iver -ordan, where Christ was baptised by John the Baptist, the 3rchbishop made the sign of the cross on Prince George"s forehead and trickled water on his head three times to symbolise the Holy 'rinity.

%ies and puddings Pies and puddings are related phenomena in Sritish culinary history. (riginally, both solved the problem of preparing dinners made with less eKpensive meats. Pies covered a stew or other ingredients with a crustT puddings were made from butcherEs scraps tucked into a sheepEs stomach, then steamed or boiled. Pies have remained pies, although, in addition to savoury pies, there now eKist sweet variations, which tend to have two crusts or a bottom crust only. Over time, however, in a confusing development, pudding has become a more general term for a sweet or savoury steamed miKture - as well as a word that describes desserts in general. 8or eKample, black pudding is actually made with pigEs blood. ,hereas plum pudding is a Christmas treat consisting of a steamed cake of beef suet and dried and candied fruits soaked in brandy. 3nd, of course, one canEt forget rice pudding.
