The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have finally shown off their son, Archie after his royal christening which was held today. 

Archie who was cradled in the arms of his mum Meghan, 37, as his doting dad Harry, 34, looked on, was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Windsor Castle, in front of a close group of just 25 friends and family.

The second photo shared had Prince Archie's grandparents, Prince Charles and Camilla, along with Doria Ragland in it.

Princess Diana's sisters Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale were also in the photo - hinting they could have been given godparents roles.

Sharing the black and white/coloured photos, Kensington Palace wrote;

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to share the happiness of this day, and would like to thank everyone around the world for their ongoing support. They feel so fortunate to have enjoyed this special moment with family and Archie’s godparents.

"Today The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie was Christened at the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle.
