Why the Queen missed Archie’s christening

Royal author Katie Nicholl said that the Queen was over the moon to welcome Archie Harrison to the family. Katie added that once Her Majesty even joked that she would probably never see Harry as a father of his own kids.

There is still one ‘mystery’ left about Archie’s christening. Some fans still keep speculating why the Queen missed Harry and Meghan’s son’s ceremony.

The answer is pretty simple. The matter is that Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip had a royal engagement to attend that day, which was scheduled beforehand. That’s why they have been missed in the Sussexes’ portrait from Archie’s christening.

It was so sweet of her to mention Harry and Meghan’s son Archie in her Christmas Day speech. The Sussexes must be so touched! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to the royal family!
