Meghan and Harry Clarify Confusion Over Lilibet’s Christening

In a recent discussion on Good Morning Britain, Kate Garraway and her co-hosts delved into the details surrounding the christening of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Lilibet.

During the segment, Garraway pointed out some inaccuracies in a statement released by the couple regarding their daughter's baptism that raised eyebrows among royal watchers.

Earlier this month, Harry made a brief trip back to the UK to visit his father, King Charles III, who is currently facing health challenges.

Speculation is rife that Harry may return more frequently to assist with royal duties while his father undergoes treatment.

In an interview with Will Reeve on Good Morning America, Harry hinted at upcoming trips, expressing his intention to visit family as often as possible.

This potential shift in Harry's involvement with royal responsibilities comes on the heels of the launch of the Sussexes' new website, which features their royal titles prominently.

The site has transitioned from archewel.com to sussex.com, now officially branding itself as the “Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

Despite stepping down from their royal roles, they retain the use of their titles, although the HRH designation is no longer applicable.

With King Charles now on the throne, Harry and Meghan's children, Archie and Lilibet, aged four and two respectively, have been officially recognized as a prince and princess.

This development marks a significant change since last year when royal fans were taken aback when the couple announced Lilibet's christening at their home in Los Angeles, referring to her as Princess Lilibet Diana for the first time.

A spokesperson for the couple confirmed that Lilibet was baptized on March 3 by the Most Reverend John Taylor, the Archbishop of Los Angeles.

However, it was Garraway's commentary that brought attention to a factual error in the announcement.

She noted that the statement inaccurately referred to Taylor as the “Bishop of Los Angeles,” a mistake that seemed particularly glaring given Harry and Meghan's emphasis on accuracy and representation.

Garraway expressed her concern, stating, “You're worried that the Sussexes aren't particularly helping themselves, aren't you?” She highlighted the irony that, while the couple often challenges media narratives about them, they failed to ensure their own facts were correct.

The fact that the couple misidentified a key figure in Lilibet's christening raised questions about their approach to public relations.

Garraway pointedly remarked that for someone so invested in accuracy, such errors could prove detrimental to their image.

Lilibet, born in June 2021, is the couple's second child, following their son Archie, who was born in May 2019.

The family made headlines in 2020 when they relocated to the United States after stepping back from their roles as working royals, seeking a more independent life.

As discussions around their royal titles and responsibilities continue, Harry and Meghan's actions suggest a desire to remain connected to their royal roots, even as they carve out a new path for themselves in the U.S.
