For those who weren’t able to watch the christening live, Monaco Channel has made the video from their livestream available for replay on YouTube. It is a full Catholic baptism mass, and so the service itself lasted about an hour and a half, after which Albert and Charlene walked the streets of Monaco on their way back to the Princely Palace and greeted the people of Monaco. (The twins went back to the Palace by car with their nannies.) The entire video lasts 2 hours and 42 minutes.

If you would prefer highlights, Paris Match has provided this video and the Princely Palace has posted an album of photos to their Facebook page.

The christening of Princess Gabriella (known formally as Her Serene Highness The Countess of Carladès) and Hereditary Prince Jacques of Monaco (known formally as His Serene Highness The Hereditary Prince of Monaco, Marquis of Baux) is scheduled for this Sunday, May 10, and it has been announced that the christening will be available to stream at Monaco Channel. (No specific streaming link has been provided as yet.) After the service, the family will return to the Princely Palace for a ceremony in which Gabriella and Jacques will be decorated with the Order of Grimaldi.

The service begins at 10:30 am Monaco Time, which converts to Sunday at 1:30 am Pacific Time/4:30 am Eastern (though I personally plan on tuning in early to make sure I don’t miss anything). You can convert to other time zones here.

10-hour-old Princess Charlotte of Cambridge sleeps in her mother’s arms as she’s introduced to the world on May 2. (Hat tip to @BreakfastNews on Twitter.)

It was announced today that William and Kate have named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. (Under previous Letters Patent, she would have been known as Lady Charlotte Mountbatten-Windsor, as the style and title of Prince was only eligible for the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, i.e., George, but Queen Elizabeth issued new Letters Patent in December 2012 that extended princely titles to all of William and Kate’s children.)

William and Kate impressively managed to honor several family members with Charlotte’s names:

  • Charlotte is a feminine form of Charles (William’s father), but it is also the middle name of Kate’s sister Pippa (and the name of Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III of Great Britain);
  • Elizabeth is Kate’s middle name, Kate’s mother Carole’s middle name, and the first name of both the Queen and her mother (Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother);
  • Diana honors William’s mother.

(And on a personal note, as I mentioned in my previous post, Charlotte is also my mother’s name, so it’s a little extra special for us.)

Long live Princess Charlotte!

Prince George has a little sister!

Saturday morning at 8:34 am (just after midnight California time), Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to a healthy baby girl, according to the royal press release, which was also posted to Twitter. This is the second child for William and Kate, the second grandchild for Prince Charles, and the fifth great-grandchild for Queen Elizabeth II (but the second royal one). The little Princess is now fourth in the line of succession, behind her grandpa Prince Charles, her dad Prince William, and her big brother Prince George.

Her names have not been announced, but we knew George’s names within a day or so. (I’m kind of hoping “Charlotte” shows up somewhere in there, as that is my mother’s name.)

In accordance with royal tradition, a formal announcement was placed on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace (and then a picture was taken and posted on instagram.)

Congratulations to William, Kate, and George!
