Viscount Severn Will Wear Replica Christening Gown On Saturday

On Tuesday, the Press Secretary to the Queen released the date and place for Viscount Severn’s christening. He will be christened on Saturday at Windsor. James will be the first to wear a replica, commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II, of the 1841 Honiton lace christening gown created for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, The Princess Royal (Victoria). The original christening gown has been preserved and it will no longer be used for royal christenings.
