Svensk Damtidning tells that according to their sources, the christening will be in the end of September. Margareta Thorgren, the director of the press department, doesn't confirm this. She says that the court will inform in August after the holidays about when the christening will be.

Well, if the court is going to provide info in August it certainly mean September... And before the family moves to england..
