Why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Keeping Archie’s Godparents a Secret

By | July 4, 2019
  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are keeping the names of Archie’s godparents secret, and are facing backlash from fans.
  • Archie’s godparents are not celebrities, but are “private citizens” who understandably don’t want a spotlight on them.

    The royal bundle of joy known as Baby Archie is being christened this weekend (July 6, set an alarm), and it’s going to be completely different from past royal christenings. In that it’s pretty much completely private and there won’t be a ton of media and photographers taking pics. On top of that, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are keeping Archie’s list of godparents a secret.

    Per a Buckingham Palace press release, Archie will be christened in a “small private ceremony” in the “private chapel at Windsor Castle.” And their comments about the godparents are as follows: “The godparents, in keeping with their wishes, will remain private.”

    But like…WHY?!? Turns out Meghan and Harry haven’t picked celebrities like Serena Willams and Amal Clooney to be godparents, but have instead picked regular people from their regular lives—or, as royal reporter Chris Ship puts it, “private citizens.”

    And honestly, the decision is causing a ton of backlash among royal enthusiasts (and even royal reporters) who feel Archie’s christening should be a public affair.

    And a lot of people seem to be blaming Meghan, which is both extremely ugh and also off-base considering she’s simply honoring the wishes of Archie’s godparents, who clearly don’t want to be in the spotlight following his christening.

    Either way, Meghan and Harry will be releasing a few pictures of Archie’s christening after it takes place, so expect your Instagram feed to get a lot cuter this weekend.
