  • Estelle’s Christening
    Mark your calendars: Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary will be christened on May 22. The christening will take place at Slottkyrkan in Stockholm (where Victoria and Daniel also got married). According to sources, her parents have been very involved when it comes to everything from the choice of music to the menu.

  • Baby Estelle will be 12 weeks old by the time (almost the exact age Victoria herself was, when she was christened on September 27 in 1977).

  • The archbishop will preside over the christening, and it will also mirror much of what happened when the Crown Princess was christened. The baby will wear the same gown all royal babies have been wearing since the christening of the King’s father in 1906. In addition she will be wearing a christening cape that has the names of all royal babies embroidered on it, since the christening of Princess Margaretha in 1935.
