The royals chose the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham where Diana was christened in 1961. But that wasn’t the only way they kept Diana’s memory alive.
Kate and William chose Diana’s niece, Laura Fellowes, as one of Charlotte’s five godparents. The others are friends and relatives of the couple, but do not include Prince Harry or Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton.
