Congratulations Prince George. A historic moment. Queen Elizabeth II with three future Kings of Great Britain at Georges christening with the monarch and three generations of heirs in one photo. The last time that happened was in 1894 when Queen Victoria held the future Edward VIII at his christening (though he ended up scandalizing the world by - gasp - marrying an American divorcée), pictured also with the future George V (Victorias grandson) and her son, the future Edward VII who succeeded her when she died in 1901 (which dawned the Edwardian age for all those Downton Abbey fans out there).
