How about George III? Who were his Godparents
 
How about George III? Who were his Godparents

The King of Sweden, Frederick I (for whom Lord Baltimore stood proxy), his uncle Frederick III the Duke of Saxe-Gotha (for whom Lord Carnarvon stood proxy) and his great-aunt Sophia Dorotha the Queen of Prussia (for whom Lady Charlotte Edwin stood proxy). :flowers:
 
I have found one interesting site about the christening of several members of the British Royal Family. There are also the godparents mentioned:

Yvonne's Royalty Home Page: Royal Christenings

Can someone tell me the godparents of Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg? Thank you!

Question about Prince Gaston of Orleans' godparents: the little Prince has six godparents: three godfathers - the Duke of Castro, the Duke of Angouleme, Count François-Pierre de Faydeau - and three godmothers - Princess Astrid of Belgium, Magdalena de Tornos and Countess of El Abra.
The Prince has been christened as Catholic - of course - but according to the Code of Canon Law (Can. 873) "there is to be only one male sponsor or one female sponsor or one of each."
So my question is: how is it possible that Gaston has 3 godfathers and 3 godmothers?

Luxembourg

Grand Duke Henri :
I have no idea who are his godparents
Henri's godparents are his maternal uncle Albert (the present King of the Belgians) and his paternal aunt Princess Marie Gabrielle, Countess Knud Holstein-Ledreborg.

I'm curious about something. In some royal households, the child has several godparents (Like England). In Luxembourg there are only two godparents (one male, one female). Why is that?

It's because they're Catholic; and Canon Law provides that one may have only one or two godpartnes, and if two they must be a godfather and a godmother.
This rule is followed only by Roman Catholic Church, that's why those baptized in another Church can have more godparents.

There's only one case that allows a Catholic to have more than two godparents, and it is when on of them is not Catholic; only in this case, child can have more than two godparents as the non-Catholic one can partecipate to the christening as a witness together with another Catholic godparent; i.e. Princess Eleonore of Belgium, who has two godmothers, CP Victoria of Sweden and Princess Claire of Belgium: being Victoria Lutheran, she can't be the only godmother, so she partecipated to the christening as witness together with Claire (who is Catholic) who partecipated as godmother.
(I hope it isn't too much confusing :flowers:)

Very nice pics Victoria and Eleonore. Never see them before.
 

These are wonderful pictures. Thank you so much sharing them with us. I have never seen them before. I am so conviced that the Swedish Crown Princess will be a perfect mother, just as Mathilde is :)
 
Is there such a thing?
Hahahaha, you may be right :) But I am sure the Swedish Royal House PR department will make us believe she will be one perfect happy mother (which I truefully hope she will be) but who knows what is going on behind closed doors? :)
