There is a photo of the tot in his gown, and with his mum and dad here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7354474.stm
The lace - hard to tell what it is :( and in a older article about his big sis' christening, this mention: "For the occasion, Louise wore the 163 year old honiton lace and white satin christening gown which was made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, Victoria, and is traditionally worn by all members of the royal family." So, if a replica, there could be handmade lace on it, but it would be new handmade lace, I would think. Perhaps a query directed to the Honiton Museum in Devon?
