Meghan and Harry WON’T reveal identity of baby Archie’s godparents as details of private christening are released

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry will NOT reveal the identity of baby Archie’s godparents.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released details about the christening, revealing the highly anticipated ceremony will take place on Saturday.

The new parents also announced they will release official photos from the day some time in the future.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will christen the royal baby at the Private Chapel in Windsor Castle, and the couple have asked photographer Chris Allerton to take pictures.

A statement, released by Buckingham Palace today, reads: “Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will be christened in a small private ceremony by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday 6 July.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex look forward to sharing some images taken on the day by photographer Chris Allerton.

“The godparents, in keeping with their wishes, will remain private.”

The couple are determined to keep their son a “private citizen”, with sources confirming they plan a media-free baptism.

The service will only be witnessed by around 25 guests,  reported.

It is in stark contrast to Prince William and Kate Middleton who invited the media to the christening of all three of their children, keeping only the ceremony itself private.

Archie – who was born on May 6 – will be two months old when he’s doused from the lily font with water from the River Jordan.

Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall are said to be leading the party, alongside Kate Middleton and Prince William.

But there’s one important person who won’t be there – the Queen. Prior commitments mean she’ll have to give it a miss.
