They will be announced short time before the christening.
Leah Isadora's Godparents (for example) were announced a week before the Christening.

it's strange they didn't release the godparents yet. i remember them doing so earlier for maud and leah.

Do you think that some royals like swedish or danish family are going to attend this christening???

dutch royals (laurentien and family) attended leah isadora's christening. however, it was because laurentien was one of the godmothers. no other foreign royals that i remember in maud's christening. the danish family is at least quite quick in updating their attendance in the webpage, so if it's not already there, i doubt they are attending either. maybe victoria gets chosen to be godmother though?

Why is the christening on a Tuesday?

I don't think there's a special reason. Maud was baptized on a Monday, Leah on a Thursday.

No, it is Maud Angelica.
This picture was taken during a photoshoot for the magazin HENNE in 2003.


This article says that Ari Behn and ML had asked for a photo-restriction during the baptism of Emma, coming Tuesday, in the Chapel of the Royal Palace.

They demanded that their two eldest daughters were not be photographed, so as to protect their privacy.
However, in a meeting between representatives from the Palace & the Press it became clear that this is an official event, and thus all members of the RF will be pictured.
Same rules as for example during the Xmas holidays when the Royals & their families are captured when leaving their cars and entering/leaving the church, for example.

They did the same during the Ruby anniversary of the Royal Couple last summer.
The CP Couple and the Royal Couple made a little photosession. ML and Ari stayed on the Royal Yacht "Norge", because they didn't want their daughters to be photographed.

When I first saw the Avatar of Her Majesty, I thought it was a photo of Queen Sonja. There is a great resemblance between the Queen and her daughter.
