Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appear to have defied the royal family by refusing a British christening for their daughter Lilibeth.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who on Friday christened their youngest child in an intimate ceremony at Montecito Castle, California – left their father King Charles III and brother Prince William in the crowd as the couple celebrated the traditional holiday. event with American friends.
An insider claimed that “the royal family did not like Meghan and Harry’s move to hold Lilibeth’s christening in California.”
Harry and Meghan left their senior royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US, where their youngest daughter had a British baptism and an Anglican ceremony at their new home in Los Angeles. Among the guests was the couple’s billionaire fiance Tyler Perry.
The 21-month-old daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was baptized by the Anglican Bishop of Los Angeles, the Reverend John Taylor. Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, was among the guests at the event.
She danced to a playlist featuring songs from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding. A gospel choir also sang “Oh Happy Day” and “This Little Light of Mine.”
Meghan and Harry invited King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales, but they declined to attend the ceremony.
