I can see Beatrice being indifferent about baptizing her son, but Princess Caroline?
No way would she not find it disturbing that her late husband's namesake will be the only one of her grand children who is denied this most basic of all sacraments, one that even most lapsed Catholics don't ignore. And especially not in the aristocratic/princely milieu of the Casiraghi/Borromeo/Grimaldis.
As Biri correctly pointed out the Catholic Nuptial Mass obliges you not only to agree to accept children but to raise them in the Faith. Not that some couples don't ignore their vows, but still.....if Beatrice was truly as atheist as she allegedly proclaims why go thru a sham religious wedding when she'd already had a quite lavish Civil ceremony and evening celebration in Monaco?
There was no need for a Nuptial Mass if she didn't want one.
I suspect that the child has already been baptized quietly and privately like Pierre and his siblings were at the Palace chapel.
