Save the date!

Princess Charlotte will be christened on July 5 at St Mary Magdalene Church at the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rev. Justin Welby, will perform the service.

According to the BBC, Welby was "delighted" to be asked to conduct the tiny royal's baptism. "It will be an extraordinary honor and privilege to help welcome the princess into the family of the church," he added.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's daughter was born May 2 at St. Mary's Hospital, and only 10 hours after that the Duchess of Cambridge departed the hospital looking gorgeous—probably because her delivery experience went very smoothly! But will Charlotte's christening go as smoothly as big brother Prince George's?

It's tough to predict how a baby will act when it comes time to shine inside of a Church, but George definitely set the bar high. Per the Telegraph, he had acted like a little royal angel!

"It's the first time he's been quiet all day," William joked inside the Chapel Royal at St. James' Palace, as quoted by the publication. It also noted that William's firstborn son even appeared to wave at his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, while bouncing in his dad's arms! So cute!

Now that he officially has begun his role of big brother, protector, etc., we can't wait to see how he acts at the royal event! Will he be jealous of the attention his little sister receives or will be he an angel once again?

His christening was an intimate affair, with only 23 guests present. In addition to the royal family and the Middleton family, George's seven godparents and the six spouses among them and William's former nanny turned George's part-time nanny, Jessie Webb, marked the celebration.

We assume Charlotte's will be just as intimate!
