Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway has pointed out an inaccuracy in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's statement announcing the christening of their daughter Lilibet.
Yesterday it was revealed that Meghan and Harry's youngest child Princess Lilibet Diana was christened at their family home in Los Angeles last week.
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said: "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."
However, during today's instalment of Good Morning Britain, host Kate pointed out that the statement contained a ‘factual inaccuracy’.
As she hosted Thursday's show alongside Ben Shepherd, Kate said: "You worry that the Sussexes don’t particularly help themselves, don’t you?
“They put out a statement saying the Princess Lillibet was christened last Friday by the bishop of Los Angeles – which was a former journalist actually, a profession Harry’s not always keen on.”
Kate added: “But actually in the statement, they called him the Archbishop of Los Angeles, which is factually inaccurate and you just think, Gosh, someone who is so keen on accuracy and representation – it seems so unhelpful that things like that are wrong.”
Later Kate continued: “If you’re challenging reporting and the accuracy of that about yourself, you’ve got to get your own facts right haven’t you?”
The ex newspaper journalist worked in the office of former US President Richard Nixon between 1984 and 1990 prior to being ordained, writes The Mirror.
The discussion about Lilibet’s christening then turned to the upcoming coronation of King Charles this May and the panel spoke about whether Harry and Meghan will attend.
Kate said: “We presume and we hope that they will both want to show love and support for King Charles at that.
“We’re very fond of them. It’s such a mess and we want to unravel it for everybody.”
Lili's christening announcement is the first time Harry and Meghan’s second child has been publicly called a princess and confirms that Harry and Meghan will use the royal titles for their children.
The spokesperson for the couple said members of the Royal Family were invited to the christening, but did not attend.
Lilibet was born in June 2021, and is Harry and Meghan's second child. Their son Archie was born in May 2019 and they relocated to the US the following year after stepping back from their royal duties.
