Kensington Palace has announced details of Prince Louis’s
christening.
It will be the first royal engagement for the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge’s youngest child, who was born on 23 April this year
and is fifth in line to the throne.
So when will the royal baby be baptised?
The christening will take place in a private ceremony on Monday
9 July. This will make him around three months old. “The good news
for his football-loving dad, Prince William, is that 9 July is one
of the rest days in the World Cup,” notes the BBC.
Where will the christening be?
The Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in London, where his older
brother Prince George was christened.

“As Royal tradition dictates, Prince Louis will be baptised in
the Lily Font bowl, christened with holy water from the River
Jordan in the Middle East,” says the Daily Express.
“The Lily Font bowl was commissioned by Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert in 1840 and is made of silver with botanical
decorations. The Royal Family have used the sacred font in baptisms
since its creation.”
Princess Charlotte was christened at the church of St Mary
Magdalene in Sandringham in 2015, when holy water was apparently
flown in from the River Jordan especially for the event.
Who will baptise him?
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby,
who recently conducted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding in
Windsor.
What will Louis wear?
According to the Daily Express, he will wear the same cream lace
gown worn by George and Charlotte. It is a replica of the gown made
in 1841 for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Victoria, says the
newspaper. The original gown was taken out of use in 2008 when it
became too fragile to wear.
