Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's youngest child, Princess Lilibet Diana, was christened in a private ceremony at their California home last week. According to a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the ceremony was conducted by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Reverend John Taylor, and took place on Friday, March 3.
The couple had invited Harry's immediate family, including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton, but unfortunately, they did not attend the ceremony.
The report reveals that the christening was attended by around 20-30 guests, including Meghan Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, and actor-filmmaker Tyler Perry, who is Lilibet's godfather. Tyler had revealed in the Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, that the couple had asked him to be Lilibet's godfather.
He reportedly flew in for the christening from Atlanta, Georgia, along with a 10-person gospel choir that performed the numbers Oh Happy Day and This Little Light of Mine, which was also played at Meghan and Harry's wedding.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed food and dancing. Little Archie was said to be enjoying a dance with his sister as well. The christening came after Harry's memoir, Spare, was released in January. In the book, he made several accusations against the royal family, including the charge that his older brother William knocked him to the floor during a confrontation in London in 2019.
It has not been confirmed as yet if Harry, Meghan, and the children will travel to England in May for King Charles's coronation ceremony. The couple's eldest child, three-year-old Archie, and Lilibet both have the titles of prince and princess, following the death of Queen Elizabeth last year, and Prince Charles's ascension to the throne.
