The Swedish royal family has welcomed seven babies in the past eight years – Crown Princess Victoria's daughter Princess Estelle, eight, is the oldest, while three-month-old Princess Adrienne is the youngest – so its no wonder that when baby Adrienne was christened in Stockholm on the morning of June 8, she and her young cousins stole the show!For her big day, Princess Adrienne – whose christening date coincides with the wedding anniversary of her parents, Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill – wore the same gown that was first worn by Prince Gustaf Adolf in 1906, and has been passed down through royal generations of babies including King Carl XVI Gustaf, Princess Madeleine and Prince Carl Philip.Princess Adrienne's big day at the Royal Chapel of Drottningholm Palace also included her grandparents, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia and her six godparents: Anouska d’Abo, Charlotte Kreuger Cederlund, Coralie Charriol Paul, Nader Panahpour, Baron Gustav Thott and Natalie Werner.Scroll through for the sweetest photos of Princess Adrienne's christening.
