Harry and Meghan have reportedly begun referring to their daughter Lilibet as a princess and their son Archie as a prince.

The Sussexes opted for an Anglican ceremony at their Montecito mansion for between 20 and 30 friends, including her billionaire godfather Tyler Perry, instead of a British baptism for their youngest daughter.

Last Friday, Harry and Meghan invited King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales to the ceremony in California, but they declined.

Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, and Lilibet’s godfather, Tyler Perry, were among the approximately two-hundred guests who attended the event.

After Lili was baptised by Reverend John Taylor, the Anglican Bishop of Los Angeles, guests and family, including Doria Ragland, danced to songs from Harry and Meghan’s wedding reception at Windsor Castle.

The Sussexes are said to prefer not to deny Archie and Lilibet their birthright, but rather to give them the option of dropping or keeping the titles when they are older.
