Britain's Princess Charlotte, the baby daughter of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, was christened on Sunday as crowds gathered to witness the family's first public outing together since her birth in May.

Television pictures showed members of the public clapping, cheering and taking photographs as William and Kate left the church with Britain's newest royal, who is fourth in line to the throne, and her older brother George.
