The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, have christened their daughter Princess Lilibet Diana in California. A spokesperson for the couple made the announcement on Wednesday, confirming that the christening took place on Friday, March 3 and was officiated by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor.
This marks the first time the title of princess has been used publicly for Lilibet, who is entitled to it under the usual protocol as a male-line grandchild of the monarch. The rules were set out by King George V in 1917, and Lilibet gained the right to the title when her grandfather, Charles, became King Charles III.
People magazine reported that Lilibet’s parents invited King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales to the event but they did not attend. It is unclear why the royals were not present at the christening.
The christening of Princess Lilibet Diana is a significant milestone for the Sussexes, as they continue to raise their daughter in California. The couple has been living in the US since last year, when they stepped back from their roles as senior members of the royal family.
