Princess Lilibet Diana, who turns two in June, was baptised by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor, Harry and Meghan said in a statement.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan announced on Wednesday that their daughter had been christened in a private ceremony in California, publicly calling her a princess and revealing for the first time that they will use royal titles for their children.
Meghan suggested that this was because Archie was the royal family’s “first member of colour” and would have marked the first time a royal grandchild wasn’t given the same title as the other grandchildren. Titles are conferred in line with a decree issued by King George V in 1917 that limits the titles of prince and princess to the male-line grandchildren of the sovereign.
But Elizabeth had the power to amend the rules, and in 2012 she decreed that the children of Prince William and his wife, Catherine, would be princes and princesses. This decree didn’t apply to Harry and Meghan.
