The newest member of the family will be christened on Monday, July 9 at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, London.
Prince Louis has kept with tradition as royal babies are usually baptised within two or three months after their birth.
Prince George was baptised in October 2013 and Princess Charlotte was in July 2015.
According to The Telegraph, royal babies tend to follow Queen Victoria’s tradition of being baptised over the Lily Front. Queen Victoria started the practice in 1841 with her eldest daughter Princess Victoria.
According to reports, six godparents were selected for Princess Charlotte and seven for Prince George.
The water from the Jordan River is used in the ceremony.
Both Georges' and Charlotte’s services were held in private, but during Charlotte’s baptism, members of the public were welcomed to come to the churchyard.
We can't wait to see the pictures!
