The gliterrati descended on Stockholm for the baptism of Swedish Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, future heir to the throne.

Estelle is the first royal birth for the Swedes in 30 years.

Attracting blanket media coverage the event diverted attention from recent royal scandals.

Around 400 guests attended the christening of the daughter of Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel which was performed by archbishop Anders Wejryd.

Hundreds of people had gathered outside the palace in central Stockholm to catch a glimpse of the royals.
