The one of the royal christening with the queen and the three in line to her throne.

Does it look odd to you?

There is something not quite right about it to my eyes. I think it is their expressions maybe but it looks like they are wax dummies.

Haven't looked at it that closely, but I do think the Queen should have held the baby for this particular picture,it looks odd (to me) that William is holding George whilst standing,& the Christening gown covers most of his suit !
Would have looked nicer with the baby on the Queens lap & the gown draped accordingly.

It is a lovely photo and I thought it strange that the queen wasnt holding the baby

Wonders why she is sitting so far away from Kate & Wills????

In the 4 monarchs photo, she should have been holding George.

Well it was reported that she had other engagements after the Christening, perhaps she did,nt want to get her out messed up and have to change (He may have threw up.)
