肯辛顿宫今日宣布，威廉夫妇的路易小王子将于7月9日接受洗礼。

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. 

路易是乔治小王子和夏洛特公主的弟弟，也是王位第五继承人，英国女王和菲利普亲王的重孙。

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

路易小王子将和哥哥乔治一样，在王室教堂接受洗礼。而夏洛特小公主接受洗礼的地点是在桑德灵格姆豪斯的圣玛丽教堂。

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.

彼时，路易小王子11周大，会穿着和乔治、夏洛特一样奶油色的褶皱礼服成为基督教徒。

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

这件长袍是1841年为维多利亚女王的大女儿定制的蕾丝绸缎服的仿品，非常精细。
