Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Won't Share the Names of Archie's Godparents with the World

Despite public pressure, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have decided to keep affairs regarding their first born away from the public eye. This was further proven by the statement released by the royal family revealing the Godparents' choice to remain anonymous.

Following a long week characterized by tense and rumors from the public, the royal family released information considering their latest member, Prince Archie's Christening. However, the details may not be what fans were hoping for.

A statement released by the palace on July 3 read:

"Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will be christened in a small private ceremony by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday, July 6th."

This was expected considering Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's shrewd secrecy over their new son, but the latter part of the letter is what's got the internet buzzing.

After a sentence confirming that professional photographer, Chris Allerton would be the one to take images on the christening, the next line showed that Archie's Godparents' identity would remain unknown.

"The godparents, in keeping with their wishes, will remain private, the statement declared."

This has left royal admirers confused on who the Godparents are although previous rumors have trailed to Serena Williams and Violet von Westenholz, to mention a few.

However, it shouldn't be too surprising considering the fact that the royal couple has been outspoken about ensuring their son has a private life. An anonymous source close to the Duke and Duchess while speaking to Elle revealed that Meghan and Harry plan to "shield him."
