Hidden Detail In Archie Christening Photo Gave Away Big Clue About Service
On Saturday, Prince Harry and Meghan christened their firstborn son Archie Harrison.
Just 25 people made the invite for the intimate christening ceremony which was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Windsor Castle.
Although many details were kept secret, there is one that they accidentally revealed.
Members of the press weren’t able to capture photos of the christening. However, later the same day, Harry and Meghan released two official christening photo taken by photographer Chris Allerton.
One of the photos shows Archie in his mom’s arms alongside The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cornwall, Lady Jane Fellowes, the Prince of Wales, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
The photo is taken in the Green Drawing Room and the family of three are sitting in the same green chair that was used for Harry’s christening in 1984.
If you look closely at the clock in the background, you can see the time that the photo was taken is almost 11.55am. That could suggest that Archie was christened at roughly 11am on Saturday.
The service followed royal tradition, with Archie dressed in the same replica Honiton gown previously worn by his cousins George, Charlotte and Louis, who were not in attendance on Saturday.
Harry and Meghan chose not reveal the names of Archie’s godparents. Still, the presence of Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale may fuel speculation that they have been chosen for the role.
A statement accompanying the photographs said: “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.”
