Baby Archie has been christened!
was christened on Saturday in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle -- and the official photographs of the event were released soon after.
The small, private ceremony was conducted by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who married Meghan and Harry last May. The family pics -- taken by Chris Allerton in the Green Drawing Room and the Rose Garden at Windsor Castle -- include Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, who was there for the special occasion, as well as Prince Charles, Camila, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, Kate Middleton and Princess Diana's sisters Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes.
"Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years," the statement continued."The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter.
Earlier this week, ET spoke with royal expert Katie Nicholl, who gave us some insight on why Meghan and Harry are trying to give baby Archie""Prince Harry grew up very much in the spotlight, never far away from the gaze of the cameras, and at points in his life that's been something he has resented," she said."My understanding is that at Frogmore, they have essentially built a fortress.
"They are tucked away there, in acres of beautiful green space," Nicholl continued."Archie is enjoying, albeit a privileged lifestyle, a remarkably ordinary lifestyle. There hasn't been a team of maternity nurses and night nurses and staff on call to cater for their every whim."
