Update on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s christening plans for baby Lilibet! Despite previous sources telling the Daily Mail that the couple wanted their daughter christened at Windsor in the Queen’s presence, it looks like the event is instead likely to go down in California. At least, according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, who told The Express that “Harry and Meghan’s relations with the British press went badly downhill when Archie was christened in private and the names of the godparents were not released.”

Note: Even though Archie was christened in private, Meghan and Harry generously released the below photo so…not sure what all the fuss was about, but okay!

Fitzwilliams added that “the Sussexes were emphatic that they intended to do things their own way and so it has proved,” and explained that “it seems certain that her christening will be in Meghan’s home state and with the secrecy but without the controversy that surrounded Archie’s christening.”

Reminder: Sources previously told the Daily Mail that Prince Harry made his “intentions clear” regarding Lilibet’s christening during his trip home to England for Princess Diana’s statue unveiling. “Harry told several people that they want to have Lili christened at Windsor, just like her brother,” a source said. “They are happy to wait until circumstances allow.”

Meghan and Harry are, understandably, super private about their family life in California and thus far haven’t shared any official photos of Lili with the public. They did formally announce her arrival on the Archewell website, though, writing, “On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”

Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans spotted what some think could be a picture of Lili and Prince Harry on Meghan’s desk in her 40th birthday video, but it’s super blurry, so TBD!
