Sweden's baby Prince Oscar, the third in line to the throne, was christened Friday at the royal palace's chapel. His mother Crown Princess Victoria, the heir apparent, held the child in her arms as she arrived with her husband and his father Prince Daniel and the couple's daughter Princess Estelle, 4. Oscar wore a cream, lace christening gown—a family heirloom.
Oscar's sister wore a white tulle knee-length dress with flower appliques, paired with white tights and strappy flats. Daniel sported a suit, made up of a long, black jacket, dark gray pinstriped pants, a light gray vest, a white shirt, a cornflower blue tie and black shoes.
Other attendees included Victoria's parents King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia, her sister Princess Madeleine, who arrived with husband Christopher O'Neill and children, Princess Leonore, 2, and baby Prince Nicolas, who will turn 1 in June. Victoria's brother Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia also attended the christening, although they did not bring their baby son Prince Alexander, who is just 1 month old.
Archbishop Antje Jackelén, the first woman to be appointed head of the Lutheran Church of Sweden, baptized Oscar using water from a spring on the island of Öland, a tradition the King introduced before Victoria's birth, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported.
