    1. I am so glad that we get to see the baptism ceremony live. Princess Madeleine is one of my favourite princesses, so its only natural that I will watch the baptism :)
      Its going to be great to see little Leonore and Estelle and little Nicolas as well.

      Well for now Swedish royal family is done with the royal weddings but there are going to be so many christenings in coming next years. Next year Victoria and Daniel will baptism their newborn baby, I'm sure that Carl Philip and Sofia will start the family soon and perhaps Madeleine and Chris will want more than 2 children in their family.
