Meghan & Harry release NEW photos from Archie's christening!

Harry and Meghan's son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor has been christened in an intimate ceremony with guests including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The two-month-old's baptism happened entirely behind closed doors in the private chapel at Windsor Castle.

Controversially, the public were not invited to see guests arrive and leave or the ceremony itself, which had long been tradition for royal babies.

This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle at an intimate service officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie. Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years. The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter. It was subsequently worn for generations of Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren until 2004, when The Queen commissioned this handmade replica, in order for the fragile historic outfit to be preserved, and for the tradition to continue.

Archie's godparents haven't been named, however that Instagram caption would suggest that they were among those who attended the christening.

The small guest list included just four members of the Royal Family: the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh had a prior engagement.

Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland was there, alongside the late Diana, Princess of Wales' sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale.
