Through her father, she is the first grandchild of  The Princess Anne, The Princess Royal , and great-grandchild of  Queen Elizabeth II  &  Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh .  According to The Daily Mail (aka the most reliable source ever...*sense sarcasm*), her christening happened in late April 2011 at the Church of the Holy Cross, near Granny Anne's estate. There was no announcement as to who were selected as her godparents. However, in addition to her parents, her aunt and uncle Zara and Mike were there, along with her great-grandparents and numerous members of the British Royal Family { Source }. Because she is so young and far down on the ranks for the throne (As of 2014, she is presently at 14th after three great-uncles, six 1st cousins 1x removed, a second cousin, her grandmother, and her f

Princess Vittoria of Savoy is the elder of the two biological children of Emanuele Filiberto, Prince of Venice and Piedmont & his wife, French actress Clotilde Courau , and was born 29 December 2003 in Geneva, Switzerland. She is a great-grandchild of the last King of Italy and the granddaughter of the present pretender to the throne, Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples, and his wife Marina. She also has two adopted brothers who were adopted from Kenya in January 2011, Alan and Moses, and a sister named Luisa , who was born in 2006. I imagine the family is living a relatively normal life in either France or Switzerland, where she likely goes to school. I also imagine that with a French mother and Italian father, she speaks at least both French and Italian.
