Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter has already been christened in a “top secret” ceremony, according to royal commentator Neil Sean. Citing a source, Mr Neil also claimed the details of the service will be included in Prince Harry’s memoir, the release of which is awaited next year. The Duke of Sussex’s book may also reveal the godmother and godfather of their children and include pictures of Lilibet Diana with older brother Archie.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Mr Sean said: “According to a very good source out in LA – and, as ever, we have to say allegedly – the daughter of Harry and Meghan has indeed been christened all top secret allegedly.

“But what’s interesting here is we won’t get to know anything about that particular end of it until the book comes out.”

He continued: “Apparently that could now become a chapter within the book, this is the book Of course that prince harry has signed a mega-deal for with that publishing house for quite a lot of money now.

“When you think about it, it would make perfect sense you know putting pictures in like that finding out who the guests are – the godmother, the godfather – that possibly has a selling point not necessarily to the public but of course to newspapers and magazines that may wish to license that story and reprint it on the same day around the world it could be very profitable.”

Express.co.uk contacted representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA. 

The royal couple released a statement through their non-profit organisation site, Archewell, which read: “It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world”.

“On June 4, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”

Queen will 'miss' Prince Harry over Christmas says Levin

While they did release pictures of their eldest son in 2019, they have so far not released an image of their daughter.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex however changed the convention when they delayed the release of pictures of Archie Harrison.

Speaking to BBC’s The Princes and The Press, broadcaster Trevor Philips said: “They made it clear that the historic convention, for example, the pictures of the new infant. They weren’t gonna go with it.

“And at that point, it became clear that either they had not really grasped that in the return to the fairytale, you have to give the people outside the castle something.

“Or they just decide they didn’t wanna play the game, and the points on which you decide you don’t wanna play the game then they’ll expect other people to play by the rules.”

Lilibet’s photo has yet to be released publicly as the couple are very strict about their private life.

Speculation arose this summer suggesting Lilibet’s christening could take place in the UK when the royal couple returned for the first time together since stepping down.

In November, Prince Charles and Camilla went for their overseas tour to Jordan and Egypt brought back holy water from the river Jordan for royal babies baptism.
