"The ceremony of the baptism of her Royal Highness the Infant Princess, second daughter of her Majesty and Prince Albert, took place on Friday week [i. e., 2 June 1843] in the Chapel Royal, Buckingham Palace, the details of which we gave in our [previous] Saturday's edition, but . . . we are induced to give the particulars at greater length. . . . . Their Royal Highnesses made the customary responses. When the archbishop [of Canterbury, presiding in the presence of the Archbishops of York, London, and Norwich] came to the part of the service for naming the Princess, the Princess Sophia Matalida and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz named her Royal Highness 'Alice Maud Mary.'"
