Harija un Meganas divus mēnešus vecā dēla kristībās piedalījās kopumā 25 cilvēki, tostarp Kembridžas hercogi Viljams un Ketrīna, princis Čārlzs, Kornvelas hercogiene Kamilla, kā arī Meganas māte Dorija.

Lielbritānijas karaliene Elizabete II aizņemtības dēļ kristībās nepiedalījās.

Ceremoniju vadījis Kenterberijas arhibīskaps Džastins Velbijs.

Atbilstoši britu karaļnama tradīcijām mazais Ārčijs bija saposts tērpā, kurā tika kristīti arī Kembridžas hercogu bērni Džordžs, Luiss un Šarlote. Tas darināts kā kopija tērpam, kurā 1841. gadā tika kristīta karalienes Viktorijas vecākā meita.

"Saseksas hercogs un hercogiene ir priecīgi dalīties laimē un vēlas pateikties cilvēkiem visā pasaulē par nerimstošo atbalstu," vēstīts karaļnama paziņojumā.

Cilvēkus, kuri izvēlēti par dēla krustvecākiem, Saseksas hercogu pāris nolēmis paturēt noslēpumā.

This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle at an intimate service officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie. Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years. The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter. It was subsequently worn for generations of Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren until 2004, when The Queen commissioned this handmade replica, in order for the fragile historic outfit to be preserved, and for the tradition to continue.

Jau ziņots, ka Harija un Meganas atvasīte pasaulē nāca 6. maijā, un jaunie vecāki pirmdzimto nosauca par Ārčiju Harisonu Mountbatenu-Vindzoru.

Mazais Ārčijs ir septītais rindā uz Lielbritānijas troni.
