Under Tight Wraps
People hoped that after the secrecy surrounding his birth, Archie’s christening would be a different story. The couple was not about to change their minds so easily, and instead chose to keep the service under tight wraps. Unlike William and Kate, who allowed the press to wait outside and snap photos at their several christenings, Archie’s parents have unequivocally prohibited the press from getting involved.
The two images shared on the couple’s social media page after the occasion were the sole indication that a christening had taken place. This, combined with the pair’s refusal to reschedule the service to a time when the Queen was available, sparked weeks of controversy.
