Lilibet Diana, the daughter of Meghan and Harry was baptized in the greatest secrecy. Charles III, Camilla, Kate and William did not attend. But they would have been invited.
The cloth burns again and again within the royal family. Meghan and Harry’s daughter Lilibet was baptized Friday, March 3. The ceremony took place in Montecito at the couple’s California home, as confirmed by their spokesperson. But Prince Harry’s family was not present. Indeed, according to several sources, and in particular Omid Scobie, journalist specializing in crowned heads, very close to the Sussexes, Charles III and his wife Queen Consort Camilla, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton were invited, but did not didn’t want to come.
The Reverend John Taylor, Archbishop of Los Angeles, officiated at the ceremony. According to People magazine, there were about thirty guests.

Lilibet referred to as “Princess”
Relations are strained between Prince Harry and Meghan and Charles, Camilla, William and Kate, and have been for a long time. But since the release of the Netflix documentary series in December, and that of Prince Harry’s Memoirs in January, any hope of reconciliation seems almost impossible. Harry’s many criticisms and revelations were not to Buckingham’s liking. Lilibet’s baptism would have been the occasion to bury the hatchet, but it was not seized by the royal family. Is the resentment towards Harry still too present? Next event that could bring the two families together, and reconcile them: the coronation of King Charles III on May 6. A historic event that will take place in front of cameras around the world.
One of the points of tension between the two families concerns precisely the children of Harry and Meghan, Archie and Lilibet. Indeed, the question of their royal titles has long been discussed. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made the decision to let their children use them. And for the first time in writing, they also refer to their daughter with the title of Princess on documents of this baptism. Provocation with regard to Buckingham or call of the foot, the doubt is allowed.
