Margareta Thorgren told to SVT:
- There will be around 370 guests at the christening. In addition, about 70 Swedish and foreign journalists to watch the baptism in place, so there is great interest.
Many details have not been revealed in advance, such as the music that will be performed or how the chapel is decorated.
- Although we have celebrated several christenings in recent years, both here at the Royal Chapel and the Drottningholm Palace Chapel, every christening is unique. We want to keep it as a secret for the guests.
The prince bears the traditional christening gown which many other royals had before him, including the king, big sister Estelle and the other cousins. Christening gown has been passed down in the family Bernadotte from 1906. A newer tradition which the royal couple began more than 30 years ago is that the christening water is retrieved from a spring on Öland.
- If there will be any further new traditions we see, Thorgren says.
The days before the christening have been busy with the preparations and rehearsals, but even though there is an element that is difficult to prepare.
- Yes, it is the prince himself. We only hope that he has a good day and is in a good mood, says Margareta Thorgren, laughing.
