#13: Traditional Dress For Baptism
One of the most enduring traditions of the British royal family is the use of a 19th-century christening gown for all royal baptisms. This delicate and intricate gown is made from silk and Honiton lace and has been worn by generations of royal children, from Queen Victoria’s first child in 1841 to the newest additions to the family.
The christening gown symbolizes the family’s deep respect for tradition and continuity and represents a link between the past and the present. By using the same gown for each baptism, the family is able to maintain a sense of connection to their storied history and to the many generations of royals who have come before.
