- Princess was christened by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a private service.
- King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton declined to come.
At their California estate in Montecito on Friday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated the christening of their daughter Princess Lilibet Diana.
The 21-month-old princess was christened by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a private service. King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton were all invited, but they declined to come.
In accordance with regulations established by King George V in 1917, Meghan and Harry’s son Archie and daughter Lilibet received the titles of prince and princess soon after King Charles III succeeded to the British monarchy following the death of Queen Elizabeth III in September.
Harry and Meghan’s friend Omid Scobie published the information on Twitter on Tuesday: “I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor.”
