'It's a wonderful thing....': Archbishop of Canterbury on baptising Prince George
Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has spoken about the "hugely important" baptism of Prince George, and said he hopes that others will be inspired to seek the same ceremony for their own children.
On Wednesday, the father-of-five will baptise Prince William and Kate Middleton's baby son at St James's Palace. The ceremony, he says, will mark the next "hugely important moment" in the little Prince's life, following his birth on 22 July2014.
"We celebrate, first of all, the joy of the parents," he said. "It's a wonderful thing, having a baby. All babies are unbelievably special, not only royal babies.
"As a nation, we're celebrating the birth of someone who in due course will be the head of state. That's extraordinary.
"It gives you this sense of forward looking, of the forwardness of history as well as the backwardness of history, and what a gift to have this new life and look forward."
Mr Welby, a former oil executive, said that new parents William and Kate have probably already been given as much advice as you could "fill a house with" — but he offered them some words of wisdom.
