Reason Princess Anne was left off guestlist for key Prince George event is because of….. full story below

Princess Anne was among the members of the Royal Family who were left off the guest list for Prince George’s baptism, a royal author has claimed

Less than three months after the young prince was born in 2013, he was baptised in the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace. The celebration was said to have been a small occasion for a child who would find himself fourth in line for the throne

According to royal biographer Robert Jobson, just 22 people watched the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, perform the ceremony. It was a “stark contrast” to the massive occasion to honour Prince William’s baptism in 1982.

It meant some high-ranking royals, including Princess Anne, Prince William’s aunt, had to miss out on attending George’s baptism. In his book Catherine: A Biography, Jobson writes: “The baptism of Prince George was relatively low-key considering his royal rank

Just three months after his birth, and once the Queen was back from Scotland, he was baptised on 23 October in the tiny Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace by the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, with a congregation of twenty-two.

“It comprised the Queen and Prince Philip, Charles and Camilla, Harry, Catherine’s parents Michael and Carole, her brother James and sister Pippa, and the seven godparents and their spouses. William’s uncles, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex, and his aunt, Princess Anne, were among those who had been left off the list so that the Cambridges could invite close friends.”
