The Prince of Wales. their Royal Highnesses' second son had been born, as had been the Prince of Wales himself, within the sound of Bow Bells. Although the christening of Prince Albert Victor had taken place at Buckingham Palace, it was decided that in the case of his infant brother the ceremony should be celebrated at Wind- sor Castle. Accord- ingly, very little more than a month after his birth, that is, on July 7, the Prince was christ- ened and he was given his four names, the Duchess of Cambridge being his godmother, and the present Duke of Cambridge his godfather. It is interesting to note that his Royal Highness is one of the very few of the late Sovereign's descendants whose names do not include that of Victor. QUEEN ALEXANDRA AND PRINCE GEORGE.
