In a world of rumors and speculation, "royal gossip" - referring to talking about royal members behind the scenes - is one of the hottest topics in Europe. The British royal family is the most popular in these discussions. In this rare atmosphere, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry deserve a honor.
The most interesting chat this week? Duke of Sussex and Duchess @sussexroyal announced a baptism ceremony for their baby boy Archie Harrison Mountbatteni - Windsor on July 6, a private event away from the public and the media. First, Meghan Harry's preference and privacy, according to British media reports, Royal commentators, also had a "cold bath" affecting the public, depriving nearly two months of photos or information, expected Archie's baptism to provide a peek at his size, as well as the color of his hair and eyes.
So with that in mind, while Meghan and Harry want Archie’s godfathers to be kept secret, we still have a chance to know who they are. The most popular stars are allegedly the couple's closest friends, including human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, tennis legend Serena Williams , and Meghan's old friend, stylist Jessica Mulloni.
With so many choices, Archie will definitely be surrounded by some inspiring people as he grows older!
Since birth, people have only taken photos of him while he was sleeping, and have also taken two photos on Instagram, one of his feet and the other of his face. Meghan and Prince Harry will report to post photos to the media through their Instagram homepage and other social media channels in a day. “Resistance is growing…I want to make myself special at all costs, Meghan and Harry are starting to be upset,” wrote Le Point’s royal reporter.
At the same time, it's not surprising, really. Prince Harry and Meghan have not only made it clear that they intend to keep their private lives private, but have taken steps to ensure their families are out of the spotlight. This is also one of the reasons to move to Flagmore Villa in Windsor. But another unexpected leak made the statement even more complicated: Meghan and Harry spent nearly $3 million on British taxpayers’ money to rebuild and renovate their new home.
Although the Sussex couple enjoys a special "dear" status in the media and the public, they have been criticized for wanting to "the best of both worlds." On the one hand, they use public funds to seek personal comfort, but on the other hand, they insist on hiding other aspects of their lives. Traditionally, royal members maintained by the state share important moments in their lives with their subjects, such as marriage, birth, baptism and funeral.
Harry and Meghan have been able to maintain strict control of their son's public image and appearance during the time of work, after the news was made public, the baby Archie was born, and his "speaking" happened two days after his birth. Prince Harry reportedly said on several occasions that he would closely protect the children's privacy and expressed his hope that his son would be treated as a "ordinary citizen."
The Daily Telegraph wrote: "The Duke and Duchess chose not to use the 'His Highness' to call Archie." And he would not accept courtesy as they wished. But as the eldest son of Prince Harry and his newlywed wife, Archie's official entry into the Anglican Church is a big deal for royal observers around the world. "They can't get butter and bets," commented Penny Juror, a royal biographer at The Times. "They either protect their privacy, pay for their houses, and then disappear from our perspective, or just play games.
People are interested in seeing Archie and his godmother come to attend the baptism. Rumors have been said that now the family of Duke of Cambridge and Duchess has officially separated from the Sussex family, Meghan and Harry want to break the royal tradition and avoid all comparisons.
However, it should be clarified that Archie's baptism ceremony differs from other royal activities in that the public and photographers are not allowed to enter at any time. Previous royal baptism ceremonies were held in public. The private baptism of Sussex will compare with Prince William and Kate Middleton's three children, allowing photographers to take photos of George Prince, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with their parents before the ceremony, while Royal fans can see the highly anticipated contacts and other guests arrive.
William and Kate invite the public to enjoy the moment at the paddock outside the church cemetery. Prince George and Prince Louis were baptized in the Royal Church of London. Princess Charlotte's wedding was held at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
Archie Harrison will name the intimate ceremony at the Queen's private church in Windsor Castle National Apartment and witness the family and friends of about 25 member states, connected by Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Kate Middleton and Prince William and Meghan and Harry.
Due to "previous appointment", the queen will not attend. She also missed the baptism of another great-grandson—Prince Louis’s—last year. If other "traditions" will be broken, at least one will continue: in his baptism, the baby will wear a copy of Honeyton lace gown.
etiquette will be hosted by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby . In March 2018, before Meghan married Prince Harry, Welby baptized Meghan and confirmed that Meghan believed in the Anglican Church. In October 2013, he was baptized for Prince George, in July 2015, he was baptized for Prince Charlotte, and in July 2018, he was baptized for Prince Louis.
Regarding the photos that Prince Harry and Meghan chose to post after the baptism, LeDian said that their royal fans reached a consensus: "Whether one foot is loose or one face is covered by a hand... They want a purest traditional family portrait, with a lace skirt, and you can still see the baby's face."
