Princess Lilibet was christened in secret – without the royal family New findings on the Nord Stream 2 blast – what we know

The daughter of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan was born on June 4, 2021. Little Lilibet was born in Los Angeles. Since then, Royal fans have been wondering where and when the girl will be christened. For example, it was believed that baptism could take place in Windsor Castle. However, Prince William would not have been thrilled about this.

Almost two years have passed since birth. Baptism was still one of the most hotly speculated topics in the British royal family. But that could be the end now. Because the baptism is over, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan said through a spokesperson. “I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was baptized on Friday, March 3, by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, John Taylor,” a representative for the couple said Wednesday.

Not much is known about baptism. A source told People magazine that King Charles III, his wife Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate did not attend the ceremony, despite an invitation from Harry and Meghan. In any case, the royal house had no official appointments on behalf of the crown on March 3.

The British news agency PA pointed out that it was the first time that the granddaughter of King Charles III has been called a princess. Lilibet became a princess at the time Charles III. became the new British monarch on September 8, 2022 with the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

However, the palace’s website still lists her officially as “Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor”. The girl, named after her great-grandmother Elizabeth’s family nickname, is seventh in line to the throne.

Lilibet is not the only child of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. Their son Archie was born in May 2019, one year after the dream wedding at Windsor Castle. Archie was baptized there two months after his birth. The baptism took place behind closed doors. The 25 guests entered through a back entrance.
