Some of Prince Harry's relatives did go to Princess Lilibet's christening in California, according to a report. Senior royals, including King Charles and Prince William, were unable to attend the ceremony - but now it is understood Harry did have some family there.
The Duke of Sussex's aunts Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale - the sisters of Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana - were present at the christening in Montecito, reports The Mirror, citing an article in Marie Claire. The pair attended alongside around 20 other guests, said the magazine.
Harry and William are understood to have remained close with their aunts and uncle on their mother's side since Diana's death in 1997. Lady Jane gave a reading from the Song of Solomon at Harry's wedding to Meghan in 2018.
The christening happened on Friday, March 3, and was confirmed five days later. A spokesperson for the Sussexes said: "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Bishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."
This was the first time Lili had been publicly referred to as a princess. Rules set out by King George V in 1917 mean Harry and Meghan's older son Archie, as well as Lili, are automatically a prince and a princess as the children of a son of a sovereign, and also now have an HRH style if they choose to use it.
The Duke of Sussex was last pictured alongside his aunts in 2021 when he unveiled a statue of his late mother alongside his brother, William. The two brothers were seen greeting their aunts with a kiss during the ceremony at Kensington Palace.
