Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway has pointed out a “factual inaccuracy” in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s statement announcing their daughter Lilibet’s christening last week.
The TV host said that the bishop who christened the 21-month-old princess was not an Archbishop, as confirmed by Prince Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson.
Meanwhile, Prince Edward has been named the new Duke of Edinburgh, taking his late father’s title. His wife, Sophie, is now the Duchess of Edinburgh and their son James is the new Earl of Wessex.
It comes as Buckingham Palace officially updated the royal family’s website to reflect the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children’s new titles.
Questions over whether the couple will attend the King and Queen Consort’s coronation are still hanging over the occasion.
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan told The Times that they have received “email correspondence” about the coronation, but no decision has been disclosed about whether they will accept the invitation or not.Palace ‘included’ Sussexes in coronation seating plans as couple ‘expected’ to attend ceremony
Buckingham Palace staff have been told to plan for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to attend the King’s coronation, it has been reported.
Harry and Meghan are being factored into all arrangements including cars, seating in Westminster Abbey, and dining, the Daily Mail said.
The couple, who have begun using the titles prince and princess for their children in an “alignment” with the Palace on the matter, is yet to confirm whether they will attend the historic ceremony on 6 May.
It is understood there is no update from the Sussex camp as to whether they will be present for the crowning of Charles and the Queen Consort.
