The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter Princess Lilibet Diana has been christened, a spokesperson has said.

A statement from the Sussexes read: “I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor.”

This is the first time Lilibet, Lili for short, has been publicly referred to as Princess.

She became a princess when her grandfather, King Charles, acceded to the throne.

It is understood that both Lili and Archie’s title’s as princess and prince will be used in formal settings, but not everyday use by the couple.

Both Harry and Meghan are keen not to deny their children their birth-right, but wish to let them decide for themselves, if they wish to keep using their titles or drop them later on.

The ceremony took place privately at the Sussexes’ home in Montecito, California.

Back in December, the couple released new images of their family-of-four in a Christmas card.

The image, taken by Alexi Lubomirski, showed Harry hugging their son Archie, as Meghan raised Lilibet into the air.

The opening line of the message in the card read: “This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa’, and Lili made us a family.”
