The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released two photographs of their son Archie after his private christening ceremony at Windsor Castle.

The couple's two-month old baby son was christened today at Windsor Castle, where they married in 2018 and and close to their home at Frogmore Cottage.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, christened Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in front of family and close friends of Harry and Meghan in the private chapel.

But there was no access for television cameras or news photographers, even as guests arrived at the chapel.

The identity of the godparents will also be kept private "in keeping with their wishes".

After the ceremony finished, the couple released two new photographs of their son, including a formal family portrait and an informal photo of the Dukedoms with Archie.
