2013年10月，英国当地时间16日宣布，威廉王子与妻子凯特的儿子剑桥乔治王子，将于23日下午在圣詹姆士宫的皇家教堂受洗。受洗仪式将由坎特伯瑞大主教主持，包括女王伊丽莎白二世、查尔斯王子等重要王室成员及凯特的家人出席。StJames'sPalaceStJames'sP3WestminsterAbbeyWestminsterAbbey,isalarge,mainlyGothic,churchintheCityofWestminster,London,locatedjusttothewestofthePalaceofWestminster.ItisoneofthemostnotablereligiousbuildingsintheUnitedKingdomandisthetraditionalplaceofcoronationandburialsiteforEnglishand,later,Britishmonarchs.威斯敏斯特大教堂(WestminsterAbbey)坐落在英国伦敦议会广场西南侧，正式名称为“圣彼得联合教堂”。威斯敏斯特大教堂整座建筑既金碧辉煌，又静谧肃穆，被认为是英国哥特式建筑的杰作。既是英国国教的礼拜堂，又是历代国王举行加冕典礼、王室成员举行婚礼的大礼堂，还是一个国葬陵墓。从11世纪胜利王威廉开始，除了爱德华五世和爱德华七世外，所有英王都在此加冕登基，当今英女王伊丽莎白二世就是于1953年6月在威斯敏斯特大教堂里举行加冕典礼的。WestminsterAbbeyWestminster4BuckinghamPalaceBuckinghamPalaceistheofficialLondonresidenceandprincipalworkplaceoftheBritishmonarch.LocatedintheCityofWestminster,thepalaceisasettingforstateoccasionsandroyalhospitality.IthasbeenafocusfortheBritishpeopleattimesofnationalrejoicing.白金汉宫位于伦敦威斯敏斯特城内，是英国王室的王宫和居所。1703年由白金汉公爵所建而得名，最早称白金汉屋。1761年转卖给英国王室后，几经修缮，逐渐成为英国王宫。从1837年起，英国历代国王都居住在这里。维多利亚女王是居住在这里的第一位君主。宫内有典礼厅、音乐厅、宴会厅、画廊等六百余间厅室，宫外有占地辽阔的御花园，花团锦簇。女王的重要国事活动都在该地举行。来英进行国事访问的国家元首也在宫内下榻，王宫由身着礼服的皇家卫队守卫。
