Royal Couple Drops Hint About Daughter’s Christening in New Netflix Documentary
Archie Mountbatten Windsor, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, was baptized at Windsor in 2019 when he was just 2 months old.
Now, the royal couple may have subtly hinted at their daughter Lilibet Diana's christening in their recent Netflix docuseries, “Harry and Meghan,” which premiered in December.
In the documentary, Hollywood producer Tyler Perry, a close friend of Harry and Meghan, disclosed that the couple had approached him to be the godfather of their daughter.
While there has been no official confirmation from the couple regarding Lilibet's christening, Perry's remarks strongly imply that the ceremony has already taken place.
Recalling the moment when Harry and Meghan asked him to be their daughter's godfather, Perry expressed his deep honor at the request.
He also mentioned proposing a private ceremony for Lilibet, suggesting a more intimate affair without the traditional church formalities.
Speculation surrounds the potential location of Lilibet's christening, with sources hinting at a possible ceremony in the United States.
Despite earlier reports indicating a desire for a christening at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, where the couple wed and Archie was baptized, the couple's spokesperson emphasized that plans for the event remain undecided.
While it remains uncertain whether Lilibet has already been christened, royal observers speculate that the ceremony might have occurred during Harry and Meghan's recent visit to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Nevertheless, no official announcement has been made by the couple's representatives regarding this matter.
In the Netflix documentary, Perry shared insights into his friendship with the couple, recounting his supportive gestures towards Meghan before their wedding in 2018.
He offered his Beverly Hills mansion as a sanctuary for the pair following their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward suggested that if Lilibet's christening does take place in California, the couple may opt for a private affair without a formal announcement, capturing the event through their personal lens.
With their first child, Archie, the couple embraced a traditional christening in Windsor surrounded by family members, including senior royals.
As the world awaits confirmation of Lilibet's christening, the couple's dedication to raising their children outside the confines of royal expectations is evident.
Their unique approach to parenting reflects a desire for independence and a departure from the traditional royal upbringing.
The subtle hints dropped in the Netflix documentary have sparked curiosity among royal enthusiasts.
