One of the most-anticipated celebrations in the British kingdom, aside from Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday, would be the christening of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s new baby, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Details have yet to be revealed regarding the big event. However, royal insiders have already shared what they thought would be the preparations the palace would undertake to ensure a peaceful yet memorable christening.

Insiders told People that Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana’s christening could take place sometime before Queen Elizabeth II departs the country for Scotland. The queen reportedly usually heads to the north in late July for her annual summer break. “The palace has no formal guidance on the date, but late summer would put it within the three months or so that most couples ideally like to baptize their children,” the publication added. According to Parent Herald, the timing would also be perfect, because by then Princess Charlotte would already be big enough to fit into her christening robe.

The ceremony could reportedly also take place at the Chapel Royal at St. James’ Palace in London. It’s said to be where Princess Charlotte’s brother, Prince George, was also christened back in October 2013. However, according to the publication there’s also the likely chance that Kate Middleton and Prince William will hold the christening somewhere near their Norfolk estate. One possible church would be St. Mary Magdalene, which is said to just be a short drive from Anmer Hall. It’s reportedly also where the Duke of Cambridge’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, was christened back in December 1990.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will lead the ceremony regardless of which church the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge chooses for Princess Charlotte’s christening. The ceremony would reportedly take place over the silver 17-inch high Lily Font, which can be moved to where the service would take place. According to People, the font to be used was created back in 1841 for the christening of Princess Royal Victoria.

Unfortunately, royal watchers won’t be able to join the ceremony on TV as the christening will reportedly be private. According to People, photos that are likely to emerge from the service are those of Prince William and Kate Middleton and their families entering the church to a series of family portraits taken after the ceremony. It’s supposedly also likely that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will reveal Princess Charlotte’s godparents only during the christening.
