The Official Photos of the New Royal Baby Are Here

The baptism was a private event, held at the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle. In the Instagram post from the Sussexes' official account, they wrote, "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."

The first photo — taken in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor, where Harry and Meghan had some of their wedding pics taken — shows the Sussexes joined by guests, including Marke's mom Doria Ragland, Prince Charles and his wife Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Prince William and Kate Middleton. According to CNN, the Queen was not able to attend due to a prior engagement.

A second black-and-white photo shows an up-close look of the proud parents with their newly-christened child in the Rose Garden at the castle.

 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.
