Louis' Big Day In Photos
Monday, July 9, 2018
Prince Louis Christening Countdown
Prince Louis will be christened on Monday and royal watchers are keen to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their three youngsters for the first time.Louis has not been publicly seen since he was born at St Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing on April 23rd. Prince George who is almost 5 and Princess Charlotte, 3 have finished school and preschool for the summer holidays and will join their little brother for his big day.
The baptism will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby at the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace, London at 4pm. Prince Charles and the Middleton family are due to attend along with the godparents who have yet to be named.
Prince Harry missed the christening of Charlotte but will attend with new wife the Duchess of Sussex.
Having visited the Chapel exterior myself last July, I can share photos of the large window that fronts the street and the narrow passage where the family will walk from St James's Palace itself to the Chapel.
The Lily Font will be brought from the Tower of London and water from the River Jordan are traditionally used. Prince Louis will wear a replica of the Honiton lace gown. The original was first used by Queen Victoria's daughter and then worn by royal babies since, including Prince William himself. Prince Edward's son James, Viscount Severn was the first royal baby to use the replica gown.

Princess Charlotte Christening News
Tuesday 30th June, 2015
Kensington Palace has announced more details for Princess Charlotte's christening.
The tiny princess will be christened this coming Sunday 5th July at 4.30pm. The service will take place in St Mary Magdalene church on the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's country home Anmer Hall is close by and as a special gesture towards the local residents, the paddock adjacent to the church will be opened for the public to congregate.
It is thought that William, Catherine, young George and baby Charlotte ( in a pram or held by her parents) will walk along the path between Sandringham House and St Mary Magdalene. This will give the public a chance to view the family together for the first time.
The Queen, Prince Philip, the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, and members of Catherine's family will be present. However Prince Harry will miss the event as he is spending three months in Africa in relation to his charity work.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will perform Charlotte Elizabeth Diana's christening, supported by Reverend Canon Jonathan Riviere of the Sandringham churches group.
St Mary Magdalene is the church where William and Harry's late mother Diana (below right) was christened in August 1961. At the time Diana's family were living in Park House also on the Queen's estate.

Kensington Palace has announced details of Princess Charlotte's christening.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen Sunday 5th July as the day Charlotte will be christened at St Mary Magdalene church on the Sandringham Estate not far from their country home, Anmer Hall.
It is thought that the date will mean The Queen can attend before she heads north to Balmoral Castle in Scotland for her summer holidays.
Princess Charlotte will be christened by The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at St Mary Magdalene Church, the same venue used for her late grandmother Diana, Princess of Wales' christening in 1961. As a young child, Diana also lived on the Sandringham Estate at Park House.
