Baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son, is reportedly set to have his christening this Saturday, July 6, and it will take place at a special location for the family: Queen Elizabeth II's private chapel in Windsor Castle.
People reports that it will be a low-key affair at Windsor Castle, near the family's newly renovated Frogmore Cottage home. A royal source said the couple “wanted an intimate, peaceful setting in a place with such a special connection to Her Majesty.” That's not the only connection: The couple famously married at the larger St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The timing of Archie's christening—at around two months old—is in line with those of Kate Middleton and Prince William's children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, reports claim that Archie's may be less public than his cousins'.
"This is a beautiful milestone, and they are excited to share it as a family first and then with the world,” People's source said. The event will reportedly include only about 25 close friends and family members with images being released to the public afterward. Hello! reports that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla Parker-Bowles, and Markle's mom, Doria Ragland, are set to attend.
Given how Markle and Harry have chosen to make announcements about Archie, it's a fairly safe bet to assume they will use their @sussexroyal Instagram account in some way.
During Prince Louis's christening, the press was allowed to film the family and guests entering and leaving the ceremony, but that will apparently not be the case for Archie, which has caused some debate online and in the British press.
