UPDATED: Baptizado do Príncipe Gabriel da Suécia / Prince Gabriel of Sweden Christening
Vamos ser sinceros com uma coisa: não existe nada mais enternecedor nos últimos anos, e desde que tenho o prazer de escrever este blog nada que me dê mais prazer do que escrever um post sobre um baptizado real sueco! Nada!
Let's be honest with something: there is nothing more endearing in recent years, and since I have the pleasure of writing this blog nothing that gives me more pleasure than writing a post about a Royal swedish christening! Nothing!

A cerimónia que ainda pode ser vista aqui (por tempo limitado) teve vários momentos musicais (alguns bem ao estilo de Carl Philip e Sofia como a música Angel Gabriel dos Lamb) e foi repleta de vários momentos espontâneos e simbólicos como apenas os suecos nos oferecem. A Princesa Leonor e o Príncipe Nicolas, filhos da Princesa Madeleine e Christopher O'Neill não estiveram presentes neste evento familiar com muita pena minha.
The ceremony can still be seen here (for a limited time) had several musical moments (some very Carl Philip and Sofia style as the music "Angel Gabriel" from Lamb) and was filled with several spontaneous and symbolic moments as only the Swedish royals offer us. Princess Leonor and Prince Nicolas, children of Princess Madeleine and Christopher O'Neill were not present at this family event which was a big disappointment for me.

Na ausência dos primos mais velhos, Alexander fez a festa no baptizado do irmão, Estelle esteve adorável e Oscar não se mostrou de todo impressionado com este baptizado, e fez questão de demonstrá-lo com a sua habitual expressão universal.
In the absence of the older cousins, Alexander made the party in his brother's baptism, Estelle was adorable and Oscar was not at all impressed with this royal affair, and made a point of demonstrating it with his usual universal expression.
Gabriel usou o habitual vestido de baptizado sueco usado pela primeira vez pelo Príncipe Gustaf Adolf em 1906. Gustaf Adolf é o pai do actual monarca e por isso bisavô de Gabriel. O vestido já vai na quarta geração de utilizadores.
Gabriel wore the usual swedish royal christening gown, first used by Prince Gustaf Adolf in 1906. Gustaf Adolf is the father of the current monarch and so Gabriel's great grandfather. The gown has now four generation of users.

Gabriel Carl Walther foi baptizado com água proveniente de Öland, como é tradição, colocada na fonte baptismal de prata (séc. XVII- XVIII). A Princesa Estelle tomou parte activa neste momento da cerimónia, colocando a água na fonte e abençoando a mesma sobre o olhar atento da tia Madeleine.

Não podia deixar de expressar a minha admiração pela sempre decoração sublime das capelas para um evento importante da família real sueca. A sazonalidade é sempre um toque bem presente na palete de cores escolhidas. Este baptizado teve um toque a Natal, o que a meu ver, o tornou mágico! A nível decoração, e não só. Mas já lá vamos!
I could not help expressing my admiration for the always sublime decoration of the chapels for an important event of the Swedish royal family. Seasonality is always present in the palette of colors chosen. This christening had a touch of Christmas, which, in my view, made it magical! Regarding decor, and not only. But let's wait!
As leituras na cerimónia foram feitas por Príncipe Carl Philip, a Princesa Madeleine e Sara Hellqvist.
Readings at the ceremony were made by Prince Carl Philip, Princess Madeleine and Sara Hellqvist.

A cerimónia acabou como é hábito, com o Rei Carl Gustaf a nomear o neto Cavaleiro da Ordem do Serafim, e a colocar-lhe uma mini-faixa da Ordem, o que para mim é sempre um dos pontos altos da cerimónia.
The ceremony ended as always with King Carl Gustaf appointing his grandson Knight of the Seraphim Order, and placed him a mini-sash, which for me is always one of the highlights of the ceremony.

A família de quatro abandonou a Capela, acompanhada pelos Padrinhos de Gabriel e saudou as dezenas de populares que esperavam no exterior, apesar do frio do Dezembro sueco, para cumprimentar a família. Para a saída da capela, Gabriel foi protegido com uma touca e uma capa que fazem parte da roupa de baptismo. Alexander é um príncipe super bem-disposto que adora acenar aos jornalistas. É inato!
The family of four left the chapel, accompanied by Gabriel's Godparents and greeted the dozens of popular waiting outside despite the December's swedish cold to greet the family. For the departure of the chapel, Gabriel was protected with a headcap and a cape that are part of the baptism clothes. Alexander is a super nice little man who loves to wave the reporters. He's natural.

Seguiu-se a recepção, onde Carl Philip e Sofia cumprimentaram os convidados, enquanto Gabriel descansava no Berço Karl XV (séc. XIX).
A reception followed, where Carl Philip and Sofia greeted the guests while Gabriel rested in the Karl XV's Cradle (century. XIX).
Vamos falar de estilo...ou de falta dele!
Let's talk about style ... or lack of it!
Vestir um traje nacional para um baptizado real? Como é que ninguém se tinha lembrado disto antes?? ADOREI!! Sofia usou o traje tradicional do Ducado de Dalarna. Gabriel é Duque de Dalarna e Sofia cresceu nesta região. Se adicionarmos as cores bem natalícias deste traje temos, sem dúvida, uma escolha simbólica, original e completamente apropriada. Voto na manutenção desta tradição. Quem está comigo?
Wear a national costume for a royal christening? How come no one had remembered this before ?? I LOVED IT!! Sofia wore the traditional costume of the Duchy of Dalarna. Gabriel is Duke of Dalarna and Sofia grew up in this region. If we add the pretty Christmas colors of this outfit, we undoubtedly have a symbolic, original and completely appropriate choice. I vote in the maintenance of this tradition. Who's with me?
A Rainha Sílvia da Suécia, avó de Gabriel surgiu super elegante num conjunto azul-cinza com um maravilhoso toucado a condizer. Sublime.
Queen Sylvia of Sweden, Gabriel's grandmother appeared super stylish in a gray-blue set with a wonderful matching headwear. Sublime.
Victoria e Estelle incorporaram o espírito festivo do mês de Dezembro. A Princesa da Coroa sueca estava deslumbrante num conjunto vermelho composto por uma saia ampla e casaco com pontos extra para o penteado. A sua filha Estelle fez a transição perfeita entre Victoria e Daniel. Uma família super coordenada.
Victoria and Estelle incorporated December's festive spirit. The Swedish Crown Princess was stunning in a red set consisting of a wide skirt and jacket with extra points for the hairstyle. Her daughter, Estelle made the perfect transition between Victoria and Daniel. A super coordinated family.
No segundo terceiro trimestre de gravidez e madrinha de Gabriel, a Princesa Madeleine voltou a apostar em Valentino e em rosa blush para um baptizado real. Desta vez, Madde desculpa, mas algo não correu bem...
In the second third trimester of pregnancy and one of Gabriel's godmothers, Princess Madeleine returned to Valentino and pinkblush for a royal christening. This time Madde, sorry, but something did not go well ...
Do lado Hellqvist, achei que a mãe de Sofia, estava elegante, embora ache que a cor escolhida não foi adequada a uma baptizado. Sara Hellqvist, uma das madrinhas também não estava muito bem embora tenha adorado a cor do vestido. Lina Frejd, a irmã do meio, do pouco que vi estava muito bem.
On the Hellqvist side, I thought Sofia's mother was elegant, though I did not think the color chosen was appropriate for a christening. Sara Hellqvist, one of the godparents was not very well either, although I did love the color of her dress. Lina Frejd, the middle sister, was very well, for what I could see.
Foram divulgadas 4 fotos oficiais do baptizado do Príncipe Gabriel. Olhando melhor, retiro tudo o que disse sobre Madeleine, Lina e Marie Hellqvist. Estavam todas muito pior do que achava.
There were released 4 official pictures from Prince Gabriel's christening. Looking better, I take back everything I've said about Madeleine, Lina and Marie Hellqvist. They were all so much worse than I thought.

Para o ano esperamos mais um baptizado real na Suécia, dado que a Princesa Madeleine espera o seu terceiro filho para 2018.
Obrigada Suécia.
Next year we expect one more royal christening in Sweden, since Princess Madeleine expects her third child to 2018.
Thank you Sweden.
This was a very nice christening , and I did start cry when they played 'Gabriels oboe', as that song has a special place in my heart.
ResponderEliminarSofia's outfit was a big suprise, but a VERY nice suprise. In scandinavia we often use our costume in christening and weddings, and that says have proud we are of our local roots. My costume is very dear to me, as it was my grandmother who made it for me.
Victoria, I love the colour, just so bright, and it suited her perfect. Not a fan of the bow she had in her hair.
Silvia, she is always so elegant.
Sofia's mum.....well....the dress was elegant, but it was the wrong colour.
Madeleine, she was the best dressed imo. Perfect colour ( I love pink ), the dress, coat, shoes...everything was PERFECT!!
I have to mention that Prince Alexander is the cutest royal boy ever, he is a spitting image of his father.
...I forgot to mention, Leonore and Nicolas didn't attend because the family has been in USA and the children are suffering from jet lag. They were deeply missed.
