Jessica,was there a particular reason why Sofia wore traditional dress at Gabriel's christening? Or did she just feel like wearing it?

Hey anon :) Gabriel’s duchy is Dalarna which is also the province Sofia grew up in and considered home. So as it’s “her” Duchy and her son’s duchy, she wore the traditional dress of Dalarna to mark the occasion

I love how they include Estelle in christening! 

Oscar looked so fed up with all the glamour of the christening. lololololol. He looks tired, tho. I think it’s way past his naptime. 

I’m bummed that Leo and Nic didn’t come it but it’s understandable. (I’m hoping that Madde or Kungahuset will release a picture of them, it been while since we last saw them)  

Alex absolutely stole the show. I just want to squeeze his chubby cheeks so bad. He’s SO adorable!!!

I love how happy they are and Gabriel is sweetheart. :D

I just read on twitter that Oscar was sick last night and I’m honestly shocked how well behaved he was at the christening, especially for his age!
