Senior members of the Royal family will gather at Windsor Castle on Saturday for the christening of the second child of the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
They have named him James Alexander Philip Theo. His title is Viscount Severn. He is eighth in the line of succession, replacing his sister Lady Louise who moves down to ninth.
The ceremony will take place at the private chapel in Windsor.
He will wear a hand-made replica of the christening gown of Queen Victoria's daughter, which was worn at subsequent royal christenings and has now been preserved.
It is the first time the gown, which was commissioned by the Queen, has been worn by a member of the Royal Family.
