And a candidate for a godparent has to be confirmed too, hasn't he/she?

What is the minimal age for confirmation in Sweden?

It's usually 15 years (after 8'th grade in school). So Estelle is too young.

Not necessarily. What's important is that the godparent is baptised.

Must have passed on his love of car racing to his godson,I had forgotten that the king and Prince are close friends.

I hope Daniel and Joachim are chosen as godparents.

Do you think that Julian will be christened out of the eye of the publicity?

 

[Friedrich Karl II]

Do you think that Julian will be christened out of the eye of the publicity?

Probably baptisment is held privately participated by members of royal family, some other relatives and some friends due corona situation. So no media nor other people. But they might publish some photos from event.

 

[JR76]

The rules right now allows for 8 people to gather for a church service. This includes church staff. The current rules are in place until the end of June.

[JR76]

No idea, but his brothers were christened around the age of 4-5 months

I hope that pictures of the baptism will be released. When will the date of the baptism be announced?

Svensk Damtidning writes about Julian's godparents:
"Prince Carl Philip, 42, and Princess Sofia, 36, have made their decision and five people are walking around right now and feeling very honored". Since Alexander and Gabriel have five godparents, Svensk Damtidning obviously is sure that Julian also gets five.
Svensk Damtidning's suggestions for godparents:
Prince Daniel
Frida Vesterberg
Helena Sommerlath Sohns, cousin of Carl Philip
Mattias Klum, star photographer and longtime good friend of Carl Philip
Sofia's cousin. But if she chooses someone else from her circle of friends instead, there are several alternatives, from her friend Stina Andersson (who is behind the shoe brand Stinaa J) to the makeup artist and PR consultant William Värnild.

Yes, they are still in Sweden; all the royal family was on vacation on Oland (the Royal couple and all their three children with their families).

Quoted from the prince's christening thread:

The godparents
Mr Johan Andersson
Mrs Stina Andersson
Mr Jacob Högfeldt
Mr Patrick Sommerlath
Miss Frida Vesterberg
Faddrar till Prins Julian - Sveriges Kungahus

Stina Andersson is Sofia's old friend, and Johan is her husband. The Andersson family from Trelleborg is one of Southern Sweden's most famous entrepreneurial families, Johan Andersson is the ceo of the family business Mellby Gård. Stina has founded the famous shoe brand Stinaa.J.

Jacob Högfeldt is Carl Philip's friend, they were at Lundsbergs school together. Jacob is the Mayor of Strängnäs Municipality and onwer of the Äleby Gård. Frida Vesterberg founded Project Playground with Sofia in 2010. So now Patrick Sommerlath is godfather for both Leonore and Julian. Victoria is godmother of Patrick's son Leopold, and Carl Philip and Madeleine are godparents to Patrick's twin daughters Anaïs and Chloe.

The godparents will be present during the christening and the subsequent lunch, which as a result of the pandemic has been limited and changed to include only those closest.

 

[CyrilVladisla]

It is nice to see a a Sommerlath relative as one of the godparents.

Was dead sure the little Prince was gonna be a little Princess

Still thinking Theodor is the most likely name (but hoping for a little Edmund), but I've also been thinking they might consider reusing Bertil as the little Prince is the third son just like Prince Bertil was.

Prince Bertil Gustaf Janne, Duke of Västmanland, or
Prince Theodor Sigvard Philip, Duke of Norrbotten, or
Prince Julian Edmund Gustaf, Duke of Närke, or
Prince August Edmund Janne, Duke of Härjedalen

I think it’s so awesome that you guessed Julian’s name ? Well done!
