Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby to be christened on Saturday
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the two-month-old son of Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, will be christened in a small private ceremony at Windsor Castle on Saturday, Buckingham Palace said.
The ceremony will be carried out by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby in the castle's Private Chapel.
Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were looking forward to sharing some images taken on the day by photographer Chris Allerton, the palace added in a statement on Wednesday.
"The godparents ... will remain private," it added.
Several newspapers have carried reports criticising the royal pair for accepting public funds for their wedding and for renovations for their new house but denying the public a view of the baby and his parents arriving at the ceremony.
Harry's older brother Prince William and his wife Kate organised media facilities for the christenings of their three children, in which arrivals at the church were filmed.

Harry and Meghan married at the castle to the West of London last year and Archie, who is seventh-in-line to the throne, was born in May.
In another news, the baby is said to have ended the much publicised 'rift' between his father Prince Harry and uncle Prince William. "There was a genuine rift between the princes that had been brewing since Harry`s engagement to Meghan (in late 2017)," royal expert Katie Nicholl, was quoted as saying in an interview with Vanity Fair.
"According to a friend of the brothers, they fell out after William voiced his concerns that Harry`s relationship with Meghan was moving too quickly," Nicholl added.
