The countdown to Princess Charlotte's christening is on. The ceremony will take place on Sunday 5th July at St Mary Magdalene church near Anmer Hall on the Queen's Sandringham Estate. 

This was also the venue for Diana, Princess of Wales' christening in August, 1961.

Charlotte will wear the replica of the traditional Honiton lace gown traditionally worn by royal babies. Godparents have not been announced but friends of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with a royal relative seem likely to be chosen. 

No doubt Prince George will add the cute factor. He will get to practice more royal waves as he did at St Mary's Hospital when arriving to meet Charlotte and again at the Trooping the Colour two weeks ago.

Amaia Kids clothing store in Chelsea has been given a boost recently with Prince

George wearing a blue knit cardigan and matching blue socks when he arrived at the Lindo Wing to meet baby sister Princess Charlotte on the 2nd of May.


The owner of the store Amaia Arrieta was quoted in Hello magazine: "The last time Kate paid a visit to Amaia Kids was when she was heavily pregnant with Princess Charlotte. "Three weeks before the Princess was born, she came in and bought three cardigans, three shirts, two pairs of shorts and long socks,"

Princess Charlotte is not even two months old but the sweet little girl is already creating a fashion buzz. When Charlotte was presented to the world on the steps of the Lindo Wing, she was wearing a bonnet 
( it turned out to be on backwards!) made by Spanish childrens wear label Irulea. Irulea specialises in handmade knitted garments.


It came to light that before Charlotte's birth, Irulea received a visit from the mother of the Cambridge's nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo. The handmade clothing that was chosen was given to the Duke and Duchess as a gift from their nanny.

Apart from the cream bonnet, the white clothing Charlotte wore for her first portraits with brother George was also part of the beautiful gift. 

Irulea says on it's Facebook page:
"We're so proud to hear that the British royal family chose to dress Princess Charlotte in Irulea. Her outfit was handmade in San Sebastián and consists of a jumper, a blouse, little boots and a bonnet."
