| Stockholm Royal Palace has released some details about Prince Oscar’s christening will take place in the Royal Chapel, The Royal Palace, on Friday May 27, 2016. |
| The officiating clergy at the christening of Prince Oscar will be the The Most Reverend Dr. Antje Jackelén, Archbishop, assisted by The Right Reverend Dr. Johan Dalman, Bishop and Chief Court Chaplain, and The Reverend Michael Bjerkhagen, Court Chaplain and Rector of the Royal Court Parish. |
| After the christening ceremony there will be a reception for invited guests, after which a private lunch will take place. The invited guests are the immediate family, European Royal familie, and representatives of the Riksdag, the Government and other representatives of Swedish organisations.. |
| Prince Oscar will be christened in the same gown worn by Princess Estelle, Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas at their christenings. The water used at the christening will come from a spring in Öland. They will also use the same christening font as for Princess Estelle. At the reception the prince will be laid in Karl XV’s cradle, which was recently used for Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas. |
| The Swedish Royal Court has opened a special web page with information about the christening of Prince Oscar. The web page says that instead of presents, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel hopes are hoping for donations to the ‘Crown Princess Couple’s Foundation’ instead. The special web page here: Prins Oscars dop |
They should have the christening of both Oscar and Alexander together. But I guess there would be some problems about who should wear the family gown or the cradle or whatever.
ReplyDeleteI guess the more royal events, the better.
Looking forward to seeing the photographs of the christening. We can only just imagine how delightful Princess Estelle will be, sharing in her baby brothers big day !
