Speculation continues to swirl around Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s plans for their daughter Lilibet‘s christening, following their controversial decision to keep Archie‘s ceremony private.
Royal expert Russell Myers suggests that this move may have set the stage for the couple’s eventual departure from the royal family.
The question on everyone’s mind is whether Lilibet will be baptized in the UK or in the US, where the Sussexes now reside.
Since stepping down from their royal duties and relocating to California, Harry and Meghan have faced strained relations with the royal family.
The birth of Lilibet was seen as a potential opportunity for reconciliation, with the Queen reportedly eager to meet her newest great-granddaughter.
However, the couple opted to release a black-and-white photo of Lilibet in her christening gown, signaling a departure from traditional royal practices.
Myers argues that the decision to withhold information about Archie’s godparents, as well as the secrecy surrounding Lilibet’s christening plans, may have contributed to public skepticism towards the Sussexes.
He questions whether such secrecy is appropriate for individuals in line to the throne, emphasizing the importance of transparency in matters of royal tradition.
Following the revelation of Archie’s godparents six months after his christening, which included figures such as Tiggy Pettifer and Mark Dyer, speculation continues to mount regarding Lilibet’s own godparents.
Despite reports suggesting that the christening may take place in the US rather than England, the couple’s spokesperson maintains that plans are still being finalized and urges against premature assumptions.
Amidst the ongoing speculation, British tabloids have seized upon the uncertainty surrounding Lilibet’s christening location, with some sources claiming that the ceremony will not be held in England but in California instead.
The Sussexes’ spokesperson refutes these claims, emphasizing that no final decisions have been made and cautioning against jumping to conclusions based on unverified sources.
As the world awaits further updates on Lilibet’s christening plans, the Sussexes remain at the center of intense media scrutiny.
The couple’s unconventional approach to royal traditions continues to spark debate, with observers divided on the implications of their decisions for their standing within the royal family.
With rumors swirling and tensions mounting, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on Meghan and Harry as they navigate the complexities of royal life in the modern era.
