路易小小王子下月將洗禮！禮服竟和喬治小王子是同一件？

Prince Louis of Cambridge's christening will take place on July 9, Kensington Palace announced today.

肯辛頓宮今日宣佈，威廉夫婦的路易小王子將於7月9日接受洗禮。

Louis, a younger brother to Prince George and Princess Charlotte, is fifth in line to the throne and a great-grandchild of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. 

路易是喬治小王子和夏洛特公主的弟弟，也是王位第五繼承人，英國女王和菲利普親王的重孫。

He will be baptised in the Chapel Royal, like his older brother. Charlotte was baptised at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham. 

路易小王子將和哥哥喬治一樣，在王室教堂接受洗禮。而夏洛特小公主接受洗禮的地點是在桑德靈格姆豪斯的聖瑪麗教堂。

Louis, who will be 11 weeks old at the time of the christening, will be welcomed into the Christian faith dressed in the same frilly, cream gown used for George and Charlotte.

彼時，路易小王子11周大，會穿着和喬治、夏洛特一樣奶油色的褶皺禮服成爲基督教徒。

The robe is a replica of the intricate lace and satin dress made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter in 1841. 

這件長袍是1841年爲維多利亞女王的大女兒定製的蕾絲綢緞服的仿品，非常精細。

In a statement today Kensington Palace said: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to announce that the christening of Prince Louis will take place on Monday 9th July at The Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, London.

肯辛頓宮在公告中說：“劍橋公爵夫婦很高興告訴大家，路易小王子將於7月9日週一在倫敦聖詹姆斯王室教堂接受洗禮。”

'Prince Louis will be christened by The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby.' 

“爲路易小王子進行洗禮儀式的是坎特伯雷大主教，屬於最尊敬的賈斯汀·威拜主教。”

His baptism will be a private affair, lasting around 30 minutes. 

小王子的洗禮過程不會對外公開，持續時間大約是30分鐘。

Prince Louis's godparents will be expected to be announced on the morning of the christening, with William and Kate again likely to choose mostly close friends for the role.

至於他的教父母，洗禮當天會進行公佈，威廉和凱特很可能會選擇他的好朋友來擔任這一角色。

Newlyweds the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are likely to attend the family celebration.

哈里夫婦大概也會參加家族慶會。
