Prince Louis' special milestone falls just after Prince William's solo trip

Prince William and Princess Kate are marking a special family memory this week.

July 10 marks seven years since the christening of their youngest son, Prince Louis — a milestone sure to bring on some nostalgic feelings for the Wales family. However, it falls just a day after the Prince of Wales travels to Switzerland solo for the Euro match.

The 2018 christening was a momentous occasion. Held at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, the day brought together several senior royals and close family members, including King Charles and Queen Camilla (then not yet on the throne), Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (then still working royals), as well as Louis’ siblings, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10.

Kate Middleton’s entire family was also present, including her parents Michael and Carole Middleton, and siblings James and Pippa.

The couple had chosen six godparents for their youngest: Nicholas van Cutsem, Guy Pelly, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher, Lady Laura Meade, Mrs. Robert Carter, and Kate’s cousin Lucy Middleton.

The christening followed cherished royal traditions. Louis wore a handmade replica of the historic Royal Christening Robe created by Angela Kelly, while the ceremony was conducted using the Lily Font — a silver baptismal font commissioned in 1840 by Queen Victoria — with water from the River Jordan.

As Prince William prepares to attend England’s Euro match in Switzerland, the family will no doubt take a moment to remember the special day they christened their youngest royal.
