martha: you are looking at live pictures of st. james palace as the royal family has been arriving for prince george s christening. it s set to take place a few moments from now. good to have you here. we have been watching a slew of godparents. there are 7 godparents. most of us just get a couple from the family. but none of them are immediate family members. they are mostly friend. exactly that. this is a window where william wants to take the monarchy moving forward. you have got princess anne s daughter. you have got mostly friend. but you have got julia samuel, one of princess diana s closest
