Harry and Meghan’s Daughter Lilibet Baptised by Bishop of Los Angeles

On Friday, the Right Reverend John Harvey Taylor, the Bishop of Los Angeles, baptised Lilibet, the 21-month-old daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their Montecito home in California.

Although the bishop updated his website about the christening, there were no photos of the event.

It has been a long time coming for Lilibet's baptism, as it has been wrangled over ever since her birth, leaving her unchristened for almost two years.

After receiving a hard no from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Harry and Meghan decided to have a royal christening as possible on their own, with a bishop instead of an ordinary priest in a church near their home.

The couple wanted what members of the royal family get and what Archie got while they were still working royals, but they were told no.

John Taylor, the bishop who christened Lilibet, was the post-presidential chief of staff for Richard Nixon, which has led to some criticism of the choice.

Despite having two years to get this done, the announcement of the christening came exactly two months before the coronation, leading to speculation that Harry and Meghan were desperate to secure a high-profile spot at the event.

However, Buckingham Palace and King Charles have chosen to let this coast along, knowing that it will all be forgotten soon enough.

There were no photos of Lilibet in the royal christening gown, no extended family photos, and no social media acknowledgement from King Charles and the Waleses.

The line of succession website was updated silently, and there was just a picture of Meghan leaving lunch saying goodbye to the paparazzi.

Daily Mail royal commentator and expert Jan Moir criticised Harry and Meghan for accepting the title of princess for Lilibet after bashing the Windsors for months.

She said it was astonishing that they would want anything to do with the monarchy after claiming it was racist and a failed institution.

Moir went on to say that Harry and Meghan have given every impression of a couple who loathe the concept of monarchy, yet they still insist on their children's birthright for an institution they claim to hate, despise, and blame for their own shortcomings.

It remains unclear what exactly Lilibet's title means, as she has no residence in the UK and no dominion over anything in the US.

The insistence on titles is seen by some as an excuse to secure a high-profile spot at the coronation.

In conclusion, the christening of Lilibet has been a controversial topic, with many questioning the motives behind Harry and Meghan's decision to have a royal christening despite their criticisms of the monarchy.

While some see it as a way to secure a place at the coronation, others view it as a way to claim a birthright that they claim to despise.

Regardless of the reasons, Lilibet's baptism has finally taken place, and we wish her all the best in life.
