Christening of Princess Ines: June 13, 2025

I don't understand how a minor is allowed to be a godparent. Makes no sense.

The event seemed like a fun filled day. Baby Ines is a cutie with her chubby cheeks!

CP Christian of Denmark became godfather months before turning 18

The (religious) task for a godfather/godmother is to support the parents in the (religious) upbringing of the baptised child. Therefore, you do not need to be an adult, but often (but not always necessary) confirmed.

Other languages make it a bit clearer that it not requires adulthood: It is Patin/Patentante in German or peettante in Dutch.

Carl Silfverschiöld and Marie Hamilton arrived with Tina and Hans de Geer. Marie had the biggest hat at the christening.

Given the way she's styled one could assume that she was either born a Hamilton, married and then divorced or is the widow of a Count Hamilton.

I think that she is born a Hamilton, she is a widow and her children have another last name than Hamilton.

Who are her children?

The more I see the photos the more questions come to mind.

Could someone also explain the dress and order decorations for the baptism? Why were Carl Philip and the King so formally dressed in full Swedish navy attire while Daniel was in morning suit?
Why did they were sashes of the order of the seraphim and Daniel did not, the female royals didn't wear their orders either only wore the brooch of the Royal Family Decoration of the King? Also was baby Ines given the order of the seraphim on her christening day why she wore it? Could the other young royals have worn their sashes too?

That was the case for all swedish christening. The King and Carl Philip in Uniform. As Daniel has not served he can not war an Uniform. And Orders sashes are not worn it morning suits. And little Ines got her Order of the Seraphim during the christening from the King like all her cousins.

A prince or princess of the Swedish royal family, who is in line to the throne, is a knight of the Order of the Seraphim from birth, but wears the Order only after his/her 18th birthday.
"Royal Family Decoration of the King" - The Swedish Royal House calls it "ett miniatyrporträtt av Kungen inramat i briljanter" = "a miniature portrait of the King framed in brilliants".

Because the dresscode required uniform if you have one… The King and Carl Philip have both served in the navy while Daniel haven’t.

(Daniel did his conscription service in the army but i don’t think he has worn a uniform after that period of time)

Does anybody happen to know whether SVT's summary of the christening can be seen on kungahuset via Yotube?

Ines certainly ressembles her oldest brother as a baby. But I also spot a bit of Julian in her eyes.
She’s a very cute girl.
