Madeleine, the godmother


Princess Madeleine of Sweden

She's already given the honour of being a godparent to her siblings and now it's Madeleine's turn to stand at the font as sponsor. The princess is among the five godparents announced for Prince Oscar ahead of his christening tomorrow.



Madeleine will be godmother to her nephew, Prince Oscar

Madeleine's name is top of the list of three godmothers and two godfathers for Oscar Carl Olof, Duke of Skane who will be christened on May 27th 2016 at the Royal Palace in Stockholm.



No real surprises at the other royal names as we already knew they were attending. Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway are also sponsors to the third in line to the throne of Sweden.  Crown Prince Haakon Magnus and Crown Princess Mary are among Princess Estelle's godparents.


Prince Oscar, son of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, will be christened on May 27th 2016 at the Royal Palace in Stockholm

There are two more names on the list - Oscar Magnuson and Hans Astrom. And tomorrow we will see them altogether as they take on the special duty of being godparent to Prince Oscar with auntie Madeleine in the middle, no doubt looking very proud indeed.
