Royal christenings - Sweden and Denmark

The Royal Court in Stockholm, Sweden released a press statement earlier today, 20 March 2012, informing that the christening of Princess Estelle, the firstborn child of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, will take place at the Palace Church on 22 May 2012. Archbishop Anders Wejryd will officiate the ceremony. Princess Estelle was born on 23 February 2012.

The christening of Princess Estelle will, by the way, take place only 2 days after another royal christening - that of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark's daughter, who was born on 24 January 2012. The Danish royal christening will take place at Møgeltønder Church near the Schackenborg estate at 5 p.m. In other words, as I write these lines, in 60 days and 18 hours we will finally know the name of the new princess of Denmark!
