"This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle at an intimate service officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby," the post read. "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son.
It also said,"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 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.
The photos were released soon after the ceremony ended. Breaking with recent royal tradition adopted by their famous in-laws, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tried to avoid public press photos of people arriving to and departing the event. Meghan and Harry's bid for extra privacy has been met with much criticism among British fans, whose tax money helps fund their home and lifestyle.
