On International Women's Day, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared the joyous news of their daughter's christening.
Princess Little Bit Diana was baptized on March 3rd in a private ceremony at the Sussex's Montecito home.

Lady Jane even delivered an emotional reading at Harry's wedding to Meghan in 2018, showcasing the enduring connection within the family.
The christening saw the presence of Tyler Perry, named as Little Bit's godparent, who arranged for a 10-person gospel choir to perform at the ceremony.
Songs like “Oh Happy Day” and “This Little Light of Mine,” previously featured at Harry and Meghan's wedding, added a touch of Hollywood glam to the event.
Perry's gesture underscored the couple's unique approach to royal traditions, opting for a California setting over the traditional royal estates.
In a departure from convention, the Sussex's confirmed the christening of Princess Little Bit Diana on International Women's Day.
The Bishop of Los Angeles, Rev.

The christening marked a significant moment for the Sussex family as their children, Archie and Little Bit, were officially recognized as Prince and Princess of Sussex.
This adjustment in their royal titles reflected the couple's desire to establish their own identity within the monarchy, signaling a break from traditional nomenclature.

In embracing their individuality and redefining established norms, the Sussex's are charting a unique path within the royal family.
