Three months after his birth Prince George was officially christened Wednesday and named in the Anglican Church in a ceremony that broke from royal tradition.

Fans of him and his parents, Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, camped outside of the Church since Tuesday in hopes of catching a glimpse of the young prince.

Some, like Terry Hutt, 78, have been followers of the entire Windsor family for some time now.

"I'd like to think that I've become a royal family godparent of sorts," Hutt told USA Today of his presence at events, including a 12-day camping stint outside the Lindo Wing awaiting the future Prince's birth.

He also met with the late Queen Mother Elizabeth when he was just 4-years-old.

Hutt stood outside the church Wednesday dressed in a Union jack suit and spent hours stringing British flags to the barricades outside St. James's Palace. He also praised the newest and youngest royal and his father about their potential future reigns.

"What makes it really special is he's a newcomer, he could well be a king one day and, if he follows his father's footsteps, I'm sure between them they will make two good kings," he said.

Hutt and others stayed camped outside the Royal Chapel despite heavy rains dampening the streets.

Despite tradition, the royal couple chose to hold the christening at the Royal Chapel at St. James's Palace instead of the Music Room at Buckingham. They named seven godparents, with only one member of the royal family thrown into the mix. They also broke tradition by having a smaller ceremony that had only five other royals in attendance: Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Harry.
