    The christening of baby Archie.
  • 0:03 - 0:04
    Prince Harry and Meghan
    paid tribute to Princess Diana
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    in a very special way
    at the christening.
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    They also released two new
    photos.
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    Amy back with the details.
    Hey, Amy.
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    That's right.
    Good morning again, guys.
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    We all got to see
    a little bit more
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    of baby Archie Mountbatten-Windsor
    over the weekend.
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    released two official photos
    from his christening.
  • 0:19 - 0:24
    ABC News can confirm
    he's a real cutie.
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    It was a christening
    fit for a king.
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    Baby Archie,
    the star of the show,
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    front and center
    in this royal family portrait
  • 0:31 - 0:32
    celebrating his baptism.
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    Beaming with pride,
    the happy parents,
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    Harry and Meghan,
    were joined, in this official snap,
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    by Grandpa Charles,
    Duchess Camilla,
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    and proud granny
    Doria Ragland.
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    In a touching tribute
    to his mother Princess Diana,
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    Prince Harry invited her sisters,
    Lady Jane Fellowes
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    and Lady Sarah McCorquodale,
    to join the royals
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    in the official photo.
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    There were nods to Diana there.
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    That was clearly very important
    to Harry and Meghan,
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    that she was involved.
  • 0:57 - 1:01
    Also there: Archie's Uncle William,
    and Aunt Kate looking stunning
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    in a pink Alexander McQueen
    number.
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    Mom Meghan donned one of
    her favorite designers,
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    Christian Dior.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    Earlier, the royals had joined
    close friends, for an intimate ceremony,
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    held in the Queen's private
    chapel in Windsor castle.
  • 1:13 - 1:17
    Around 25 people attended.
    His immediate family,
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    and his godparents, who
    have not been named.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    But the big day
    was not without its controversy,
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    some fans resenting the couple's desire
    to keep the godparents' names quiet
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    and not allow the press
    near the event,
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    instead releasing
    two official photos.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    Their decision to have
    a little bit more privacy
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    put them on the receiving end
    of criticism.
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    We see people talking about
    the fact that public money has been spent
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    renovating their official residence,
    and poses a question really,
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    as to what is expected of royals.
  • 1:45 - 1:49
    So the debate that's been sparked,
    really, is: What is reasonable to expect
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    members of the royal family
    to share, in exchange
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    for the funding that they receive
    and the position that they hold?
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    The photo was scrutinized
    as soon as released,
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    with some noticing the large gap
    between the two duchesses,
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    others saying the Cambridge couple
    looked uncomfortable.
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    But little Archie, oblivious
    to any intrigue,
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    delighted his fans,
    excited to see how he's growing,
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    and who he looks like.
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    I mean, I dunno about the gap.
    [Stephanopoulos laughs]
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    There was an arm there.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    It was difficult for them
    to be too close.
  • 2:17 - 2:18
    Lara agrees.
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    By the way,
    the jury is still out
  • 2:20 - 2:21
    on whether Archie
    looks more like Harry,
  • 2:21 - 2:22
    or Meghan.
  • 2:22 - 2:23
    But he certainly is cute.
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    We are not gonna
    jump into that debate.
  • 2:25 - 2:26
    No, but we will later, I'm sure.
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    I'm sure we will.
  • 2:27 - 2:29
