Sweden's Prince Alexander gets christened! See all the cute photos

All hail Prince Alexander on his Christening Day!

Sweden's youngest royal prince, H.R.H. Prince Alexander Erik Hubertus Bertil, was baptized with all the pomp and circumstance at a service at Stockholm's Drottningholm Royal Palace Chapel on Friday.

His proud parents, Princess Sofia, 31, and Prince Carl Philip, 37, held up their son for the world to see at the ceremony. The royal couple welcomed their kiddo, who is fifth in line for the Swedish throne, on April 19.

Prince Alexander was clad in a typical Christening outfit, enveloped in lace. But the little guy took his big day in stride and didn't even cry when Archbishop Antje Jackelén bathed his head in baptismal water at the font. His recently christened cousins, Prince Nicolas and Prince Oscar, definitely shed a tear at their ceremonies this year.

It was definitely a special occasion for all the Swedish royals. Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden were in attendance their children Prince Oscar and Princess Estelle. Princess Estelle looked adorable in a pink dress. Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill were also there with their children, Prince Nicolas and Princess Leonore.

And perhaps the scene-stealer of the day was Prince Oscar, who was sitting on his mother, Crown Princess Victoria's lap, and attempting to play with Prince Alexander. The duo appeared to really hit it off and at one point, they took part in a period of synchronized thumb sucking.

Talk about a fun day for the Swedish royals.
