Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden's newborn son Prince Gabriel will be christened ahead of the Christmas holidays. The Swedish Royal Court announced on Monday that the royal baby will be baptised on 1 December.
Like his older brother, Prince Alexander, Gabriel will be christened at Drottningholm Palace Church. Alexander wore the same cotton and lace christening gown that has been used by generations of royal babies, including his father Prince Carl Philip, for his baptism last September.
