Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill will christen their daughter Princess Leonore on 8 June, exactly one year after the couple tied the knot.
The ceremony will take place at the Royal Chapel at Drottningholm Palace, Sweden, where Madeleine and Chris held their wedding reception in 2013.
I find this so moving. It is their first anniversary as a couple and as a family and they are making it a double celebration with their daughter! :happycry: :clap: Bravo!
I really like that they've chosen their anniversary for her christening date.
I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait to see little Leonore again, it's been a long time since we saw a close up of her sweet face. I find it so lovely that Leonore is being christened on her parent's wedding anniversary. :vday2:
I wonder when we'll find out who the godparents are? I'm guessing at the christening itself, although we could find out beforehand.

[mod] Since this is a topic devoted to the Christening, there's bound to be guesses over who will be named Leonore's Godparents. :flower: Let's allow the conversation to flow. :hug: [/mod]

Gosh, it was just a general comment and I didn't think it would offend you that much. I think that everyone has the right to guess Leonore's potential godparents, I don't understand what your problem is... :shrug:
Also, I wasn't even guessing any potential godparents, I was simply wondering when they'll be announced. It seems that you're against the word 'godparent' being mentioned at all.
Ok, I'm with you HP, it's only a bit of fun....I reckon : Ava Maria.

Exactly! It's not as if we're saying that these are defiantly Leonore's godparents and publishing newspaper/magazine articles saying so.
I still haven't gotten my phone call yet... :wellduh:

QuotePrincess Leonore of Sweden: Details Released About Princess Madeleine's Daughter's Christening
The Swedish royal family have released details about Princess Leonore of Sweden's forthcoming christening.
Princess Madeleine and her husband Chris O'Neill have chosen to baptise their baby daughter Leonore Lilian Maria at Drottningholm Palace Church at 12.00 noon on 8 June 2014 — a year to the day after they tied the knot and two days before Madeleine's 32nd birthday.
Leonore will be baptised in the same gown as King Carl XVI Gustaf, Princess Victoria and her cousin Princess Estelle, whom she met for the first time when Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel visited New York in mid-April.
The baptismal water will be drawn from a source on the island of Öland and the ceremony will be conducted by the same Archbishop who baptised Estelle, Anders Wejryd, assisted by chaplain to the King Lars-Göran Lönnermark and pastor Michael Bjerkhagen.

This French blog says that Leonore's sponsors are Princess Benedikte of Denmark, Princess Christina of Sweden, Walter Sommerlath and Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg:

Apparently, her godparents haven't been named yet. I'll ask a silly question that I don't know the answer to: what's the difference between godparents and sponsors? I thought they were the same.

It was a lovely service and Leonore is a beautiful baby. And I musn't forget to mention Estelle, who was adorable throughout. :vday2: :vday4: Apparently her dress was previously worn by her mother during King Carl Gustaf's birthday celebrations in the 80's.

And here are Leonore's godparents:
Crown Princess Victoria
Louise Gottlieb
Tatjana d'Abo
Count Ernst von Abensperg und Traun
Patrick Sommerlath
Alice Bamford
Louise is a close friend of Madeleine, Ernst is Chris's brother-in-law (he is married to his sister Natascha), Patrick is Silvia's relative (I think brother, but I'm not 100% sure) and Alice is a childhood friend of Chris.
