Description

The Princess Royal was Queen Victoria's eldest child. Her christening took place in the evening in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace. The throne had been removed for the occasion and was replaced by a temporary altar on which was set plate from the Chapel Royal. The silver-gilt Lily Font was made for the occasion and has been used for many royal christenings since. In the painting it stands on a table made for George IV and the chairs are from a set made in 1828. The Princess's royal sponsors were Queen Adelaide, the Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess of Kent, the King of the Belgians, the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, for whom the Duke of Wellington stood proxy. In the painting the Queen Dowager steps forward to name the baby.
