Royal christenings are some of the most highly-anticipated events and have been a cause for celebration among fans of the Firm for many years. Across the decades, the ceremonies have been held in various locations, such as in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace or in the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace.The days are littered with traditions which vary from the ceremony being carried out by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the royal baby being christened in front of the Lily Font with water from the River Jordan.

The Prince and Princess of Wales spent many years living at Kensington Palace before relocating to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor - although they still use it as their official office.The family of five lived in Apartment 1A of Kensington Palace and were said to have decided on the move to give their young children more freedom.The idea that the West London palace is restrictive for younger members of the Royal Family is not a new concept as it was famously the site of a restrictive set of rules which affected Queen Victoria before her accession at the age of 18. The Wales family's home at Adelaide Cottage is nestled away in the heart of the Crown Estate's private 655-acre royal park and will provide the three young royals with a greater deal of privacy than they had at Kensington Palace.

Thanks to being part of the most famous family in the world, those in the Firm are often subjected to people pointing out how similar they look to their historical ancestors. Whether it is how much Princess Beatrice and Queen Victoria look alike or just how much King Charles looks like Prince Philip's grandmother, there are a huge number of royal dopplegängers. But it is clear that it is not just royals of the past who have handed down their looks - but living relatives too.

Members of the Royal Family often brush shoulders with famous celebrities and legends of stage and screen, but it is very rare for them to become one of the stars themselves. While two actresses - Meghan Markle and Sophie Winkleman - have previously married into the family, the public are not used to seeing royals dazzle on the big screen.The royal rulebook was thrown out, however, in 2009 when Princess Beatrice made a notable cameo in a new film about her lookalike great-great-great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria.

Ever since 2003, King Charles' London base has been Clarence House - and that hasn't changed since his accession owing to the extensive building work currently taking place at Buckingham Palace. However, before he took over the former home of his grandmother, the Queen Mother, Charles had a different building to call home which is located just next door. While many people may believe that the most senior royal residence is Buckingham Palace as it has been an official residence of the monarch since Queen Victoria's reign, that isn't the case.

There have been many royal figures over the years who were born to carry out major roles but never had the opportunity to fulfil them for a variety of reasons. From being deposed to dying before they came to the throne, there are several examples to choose from. While the title Princess Charlotte of Wales conjures up an image of the Prince and Princess of Wales' eight-year-old daughter, there was someone with the same name who came before her who was destined to be Queen.

Many members of the Royal Family have important titles that date back centuries but what you may not realise is that the likes of the King and the Prince of Wales don't just have one title, but several. For example, King Charles' full title is: Charles III, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other realms and territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

The Princess of Wales is expected to remain in hospital for the next few days as she continues with her recovery from last week’s abdominal surgery.
