Royal babies usually receive an official baptismal ceremony after birth, which is performed by the head of the Church of England.

Each royal baby is baptized with water from the Jordan, where it is said that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.

The baby will need to wear the traditional royal christening gown, a replica of a gown made in 1841 for the children of Queen Victoria. The original, made by Janet Sutherland, was worn by 62 royal babies.

The replica, made in 2004, was worn by the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and more recently baby Archie at his christening in July 2019.

It is not known if the couple will perform an official royal ceremony. It probably depends on their ability to travel from California, where they currently reside, to the UK after birth.
