Harry and Meghan's daughter Lilibet given 'Princess' title as she is christened in California

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Princess Lilibet Diana, has been christened at the Sussexes' home in California, a spokesperson for the couple has announced.

The spokesperson confirmed that 19-month-old Princess Lilibet was christened on Friday, March 3, by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor. It is the first time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have used the royal title publicly for Lilibet, who was born on June 4, 2021, in California.

Harry and Meghan’s children, including son Archie, three, became a prince and princess when the King acceded to the throne last year, but remain a plain Master and Miss on the Buckingham Palace website. It is understood the Prince and Princess titles will be used in formal settings, but not in everyday conversational use by the couple.
