Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, the second royal child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, will be christened next month, Kensington Palace announced Friday.

The private ceremony will be taking place at the St. Mary Magdalene Church on July 5. The church, which is where her late grandmother Princess Diana was baptized, is located on Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate on the east coast of England. Princess Charlotte will be christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rev Justin Welby.

Older brother Prince George was also christened by the Archbishop. His ceremony took place inside the Chapel Royal at the St James's Palace back in October 2013. Prince George was reportedly very well behaved.

"It's the first time he's been quiet all day," Prince William had said.

Only around 23 people were present at Prince George's christening and about the same are expected for Princess Charlotte's. The royal family, the Middleton family, George's seven godparents, the godparents' spouses and nanny, Jessie Webb, attended the first royal baby's christening.

Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed their second child on May 2 at St. Mary's Hospital.

Princess Charlotte is fourth in line for the British throne.
