Prince charming! Swedish royals gather to see cherubic Alexander christened in a traditional ceremony organised by proud parents Sofia and Carl Philip

Swedish royals, politicians and glamorous guests arrived in their droves to celebrate the christening of Prince Alexander in a ceremony steeped in tradition on Friday morning.
Guests gathered at Drottningholm Palace Church where Prince Alexander, wearing the same christening gown worn by Prince Gustaf Adolf in 1906, arrived carried by his glamorous mother, Princess Sofia, and his father, Carl Philip.

Resplendent in a white lace custom made Ida Sjöstedt suit, pearl headband and cream satin heels, Princess Sofia, 31, beamed as she watched her firstborn christened by Archbishop Antje Jackelen, flanked by her dapper husband, 37-year-old Prince Carl Philip.
