Meghan and Harry mark a special day for Archie

Meghan and Harry are marking a special milestone today as July 6 marks the anniversary of a cherished family moment the christening of their son, Prince Archie.

On this day in 2019, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in a private ceremony at Windsor Castle’s elegant Private Chapel, surrounded by close family and friends. 

Breaking slightly from royal tradition, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opted not to hold the event at St George’s Chapel where they themselves were married and where Harry was christened in 1984 likely choosing a more intimate setting for their young son’s special day.

Just two months old at the time, baby Archie wore the royal christening gown, a hand crafted replica of the historic Honiton lace and satin robe, lovingly made by the Queen’s dressmaker, Angela Kelly, and worn by generations of royal babies.

Now living in Montecito, California, Meghan who’s known for celebrating special moments with thoughtful detail and Harry are expected to mark the day in their own quiet and personal way, perhaps with a homemade cake or a family moment reflecting on how far their journey has come.

Just days ago, Meghan gave fans a sweet peek into their family life with a charming 4th of July Instagram post, showing off a tray of homemade cupcakes, one of which was being adorably snatched by a small hand, complete with red, white, and blue frosting.
