Baby Archie's Christening Will Take Place in the Venue Where Prince Harry Was Baptized
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have set a date for baby Archie's christening, according to royal commentator Roya Nikkhah.
Meghan gave birth to her first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019, and presented him to the world in a photo call on May 8.
To celebrate Prince Harry's first Father's Day, the new parents shared a close-up photo of Archie on Instagram.
It's only six weeks since the royal baby was born, but already little Archie has a packed schedule.
Having shared a seriously adorable photo of their baby to celebrate Prince Harry's first Father's Day as a new dad, it's being reported that the next royal christening is already being planned.
According to royal correspondent for The Sunday Times, Roya Nikkhah, Meghan and Harry's son will be christened as early as July 2019. Per the British newspaper, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will be officially baptized "in Windsor next month."
Nikkhah also revealed, "The Sussexes have chosen St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle for the christening." As Meghan and Harry tied the knot in St. George's Chapel in May 2018, it's the perfect location for baby Archie's christening to take place. Nikkhah also notes that Prince Harry's own christening took place in the Windsor Castle location in 1984, making it truly a family affair.

The Sunday Times notes that a plethora of royal family members are expected to turn out for the traditional event, as is Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland. As is tradition, Archie's forehead will be "doused from the lily font with water from the River Jordan," per Nikkhah.
Royal fans will instantly be wondering who Meghan and Harry will be naming as baby Archie's godparents. And luckily, we only have to wait until next month to find out.
