This article mentions he was christened before his premature death. Any info on his godparents? Was it more like a hurried baptism, because the family sensed he was probably going to die? At any rate, did he have godparents for this ceremony? Morhange 01:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The website that is already referenced in the article says he was baptized in the presence of both his parents, his mother's lady-in-waiting, and a doctor who attended the birth. Let me look in Queen Alexandra's biography to see if there is any other information.--Susan/sef127 00:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

There was no other information in Queen Alexandra's biography except for the name of the lady-in-waiting who was with her at the time of the birth (Mrs. Stonor). I would assume that because the birth was unexpected and the baby was ill, the baptism was hurried and that the doctor and lady-in-waiting were the godparents.--Susan/sef127 18:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
