Meghan Markle dazzles in white bespoke Dior gown and £12k Cartier earrings for Archie’s christening
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry celebrated the christening of their son Archie today, as they gathered at the Private Chapel in Windsor Castle for an intimate ceremony.
And Meghan looked chic in an all-white ensemble, teaming a bespoke Dior gown with a crisp white fascinator and a pair of diamond earrings by Cartier.
The Duchess of Sussex wore the stud earrings for her wedding ceremony in May last year, with fans reporting them to cost £12,000.
And while 37-year-old Meg wore a dress by Dior, sister-in-law Kate Middleton opted for a pink pussybow dress by Stella McCartney.
It's reported that the Duchess of Cambridge has had the dress - which she teamed with a red headband and red heels - since 2009.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released two official photographs this afternoon to celebrate the special occasion.
The first image was a touching black and white photograph showing little Archie cradled in the arms of mum Meghan, 37, as doting dad Harry, 34, puts his arm around the pair.
The second was a family portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex alongside Archie, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Kate Middleton and Prince William.
Meghan's mum Doria Ragland as well as Princess Diana's sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes were also in the official portrait.
Sharing the two adorable snaps, the palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to share the happiness of this day, and would like to thank everyone around the world for their ongoing support. They feel so fortunate to have enjoyed this special moment with family and Archie’s godparents."
The photographs were taken by Chris Allerton in the Green Drawing Room and the Rose Garden at Windsor Castle.
Chris Allerton said: "I am honoured to take the official photographs at the christening of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and to once again, be part of such a special and joyous occasion for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex."
Members of the St George’s Chapel Choir performed at the ceremony as the seventh-in-line to the throne was baptised in a spectacular £11,000 Lily Font with water from the River Jordan and christened in the same royal gown Kate Middleton's children wore.
Sadly, the Queen and Prince Philip were absent from the ceremony, having already made plans to spend the week together at Sandringham after Holyrood Week.
