Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Join the Queen for the Christening of Zara Tindall's Daughter

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth made a surprise visit to a country village on Sunday for the christening of Lena Tindall.

And the ceremony for the baby daughter of Harry’s cousin Zara Tindall and her husband Mike Tindall saw Harry, 34, taking on his latest key role: godfather, PEOPLE confirms.

Dad-to-be Harry follows his brother Prince William in being a godparent to one of the Tindall children — William is godfather to the Tindalls’ oldest daughter Mia, 5.

“So far, so good. I can’t complain,” the former rugby star added. “[Lena] eats, sleeps.”
