Princess Leonore of Sweden was christened yesterday (08.06.14).
The royal tot, who is the daughter of Princess Madeleine and her husband Chris O'Neill, is fifth-in-line to the throne and was baptised at 12pm on the same day as her parents' first wedding anniversary.
King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel were among the 160 guests who attended the celebrations, which took place in the Royal Chapel at Drottningholm Palace, Stockholm.
Three month old Princess Leonore wore the same traditional cream gown that her two-year-old cousin Princess Estelle donned at her christening, while proud mum Madeleine wore a pink floral dress and matching fascinator and she walked into the church carrying Leonore, alongside her husband Chris.
The businessman asked God to "bring [his] love to the child for whom [he had] given [Madeleine and Chris] responsibility."
Madeleine's older sister Victoria then poured water into the font, which has come from a special spring on a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea, which was used to baptise Leonore by Archbishop Anders Wejryd.
According to Hellomagazine.com, he told the tot: "We welcome you into the family of God and receive you in love."
Chaplain to The King, Lars-Göran Lönnermark, and Pastor of the Royal Court Parish, Michael Bjerkhagen, assisted the archbishop in the christening, which lasted 40-minutes and was conducted in English in some parts.

Britain's Prince William will join forces with David Beckham today (09.06.14) to launch a new wildlife campaign.
The Duke of Cambridge and the former soccer star want to use the power of sport to combat illegal trade in wildlife products.
William, president of United for Wildlife, will kick off the #WhoseSideAreYouOn campaign which will ask the next generation to chose between critically endangered species and those who kill them for money.
It is hoped the "#WhoseSideAreYouOn" debate will gather pace on social networking sites including Twitter and Facebook and in the run up to the launch, William and his brother Prince Harry posed for a photograph for the campaign's Twitter page holding placards with the start date "9th June 2014" and their own signature.
Beckham, who worked closely with the Duke on England's World Cup bid and attended his wedding to Duchess Catherine, heads a team of sporting stars backing the campaign including Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, India's former batsman Rahul Dravid and retired South African rugby captain Francois Pienaar.
William and Beckham have already recorded two video campaigns against illegal wildlife products for WildAid.
Beckham said at the time: ''When I learned of the current poaching levels in Africa, I immediately agreed to help get this message out."

Arcade Fire covered a rare Smiths track on Saturday (07.06.14) night.

The US group turned the vast venue - which was sold out on both nights - into a giant discotheque featuring spotlights and glitter balls, while their upbeat, career-spanning set was backed by a dazzling array of dancers, including skeletons, masked men and women and a dancing mirror man.

During the first show at the venue on Friday (06.06.14), the group were joined by Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch for a rendition of his band's hit 'The Cutter'.

Michael Barrymore tried to kill himself by overdosing on pills.
The former TV presenter has opened up about his drug and alcohol addiction, as well as the tragic death of Stuart Lubbock - who was found lifeless in the star's swimming pool - in 2001, which brought the star's career to a halt, and admits he tried to take his own life on more than one occasion.
Michael appears on a celebrity special of 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' today (09.06.14) and tells the host: "I've been taken off to the hospital a couple of times.
"Pills, too many pills, just chuck a load [in my mouth] ... I bought them from the chemist. I think that was a cry for help."
He also talks about the day he found Stuart's body in his swimming pool after a party at his home 13 years ago.
Michael said: "I just froze. That was my very first thought. I ran back into the house to get help, then the two boys started giving CPR and then the ambulance was called for and that in turn calls the police. And I was stood ... just in complete shock.
"The first thing I did wasn't run away, the first thing I did was run to get help."
The 62-year-old star breaks down in tears discussing his split from wife Cheryl, who divorced him after he came out as gay in 1995. Cheryl later died of lung cancer in 2005.
Michael said: "If I hadn't [come out] I truly believe I would have died, because I believe that my drinking and my [drug] using was getting worse because of it."
Meanwhile, Tito Jackson and Liz Dawn will appear on 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' during a week of celebrity specials, which will delve into a variety of issues ranging from money, drugs and relationships.
Tara Palmer Tomkinson will also discuss her battle with cocaine and reveal the truth behind her alleged relapse.
The celebrity specials will air 9-13 June at 2pm on ITV.
