The ceremony will be presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Royal aides said today.

In a brief statement, Kensington Palace said: “Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to announce the christening of Princess Charlotte will take place on Sunday, July 5, at St Mary Magdalene Church, Sandringham.

“Princess Charlotte will be christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby.”

The Archbishop said: “I am delighted to be invited to conduct the baptism of HRH Princess Charlotte. It will be an extraordinary honour and privilege to help welcome the Princess into the family of the church.

“Along with her parents and all her family, I look forward to joining in this joyful day of celebration and thanksgiving.”

Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born on May 2 at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, in London.

Princess Charlotte is christened at a Sandringham church

Princess Charlotte has been christened at a church in Sandringham after the Cambridges made their first public outing as a family of four.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge pushed the princess in a pram the Queen used for two of her own children.

Several thousand well wishers greeted the royals, while Prince George delighted the crowds on foot.

The royal couple announced they had chosen five godparents for the princess ahead of the christening.
The christening was held at the Church of St Mary Magdalene, and attended by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, along with other senior members of the Royal Family and Catherine's parents.

The baptism, conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Reverend Justin Welby, was held in private.

Other guests included the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Catherine's two siblings - Pippa and James Middleton.

Princess Charlotte has two fewer godparents than her brother George.

The five include Catherine's cousin Adam Middleton, William's cousin Lady Laura Fellowes and Thomas van Straubenzee, a friend of the duke's.

The final two are the duke's friend James Meade - who read the lesson during the service - and the duchess's friend Sophie Carter.

Mr van Straubenzee, whom William met at Ludgrove Prep School, and Mr Meade, a friend from Eton, were both ushers at the duke and duchess's wedding and gave speeches at the reception.

Lady Laura Fellowes is the daughter of Baroness Jane Fellowes - a sister of Diana, Princess of Wales.
