Meghan Markle and Prince Harry accused of having feigned intimacy in new family photos with Archie baby

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave a preview of Archie's baby baptism this weekend. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared two photos of the religious ceremony on social media, including a family portrait and a black and white photo of the couple holding their baby. The new parents looked more than happy in the two pictures, but the royal observers were not convinced that their intimacy was real.

In Archie's baptism

Archie's baptism took place in a private chapel inside the Windsor Chapel, far from the prying eyes of the media. Several important royals attended the affair, including Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles and Markle's mother, Doria Ragland.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were not present because of
previous commitments. The decision to keep the baptism private triggered a
good part of the fans outrage and reaction continued to follow the social
messages to the media.

This morning, the son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, was baptized in the private chapel of Windsor Castle during an intimate service chaired by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness to welcome their firstborn and celebrate this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel lucky to have enjoyed this day with family and with Archie's godparents. Their son, Archie, was baptized by wearing the replica by hand of the royal baptismal gown worn by royal babies for 11 years. The original royal baptismal gown, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and was worn for the first time by her eldest daughter. It was then worn by generations of royal baptisms, including the Queen, her children and grandchildren, until 2004, when the Queen commissioned this replica by hand, to preserve the historic garment fragile and perpetuate the tradition.

The first picture shared by the couple was very similar to Prince's
The engagement of Harry and Meghan Markle. The photo featured a bunch of royals
surrounding the couple, both sitting with Archie.

The second picture is a black and white photo of Harry looking
with love to Archie while Markle is watching. The photo is much more intimate than
the first, although body language experts believe that the ceremony was much more
stressful that it did not appear there.

Did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle pretend to be intimate?

According to Express, body language expert Judi James has reviewed the photos and thinks that the black and white image has been staged. James noted that the photo had a very Hollywood feel and was meant to show a moment of happiness. But for James, the photo loses its intimate quality because it was deliberately staged. This also explains why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to make this baptism a private affair.

"It seems deliberately intimate rather than a pose on camera
share the joy and the way we are invited to glimpse the love moment rather
that participate goes somewhere to approve their request for a private
event, shared James.

As for the family portrait, James says that he follows
all the usual directions of the royal family. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
are visible radiating at the front of the group, while the rest of the family
surround them in a demonstration of support.

That said, Middleton and William seem a little tense in the
photo and not their usual careless self. Charles, for his part, looks
as happy as we have ever seen him, and his hand resting on Harry's arm
chair says that he is proud of his son.

Archie's baptism is no exception to tradition

Although fans expect Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to do their own thing with regards to Archie's ceremony, the photos they shared were very similar to the ones William and Middleton took for baptism. of Prince Louis last year. Although the venues are different and the Cambridge guest list is longer, the photos are almost identical. In both images, the couple celebrating baptism are seated in front of the group. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip did not take part in Louis's baptism either and were therefore excluded from the photo.

William and Middleton's group shot also featured members of both
families. Charles and Parker Bowles were on the picture, as well as Middleton's mother
and dad, Carole and Michael Middleton. His sister, Pippa Middleton, and
his brother, James Middleton, were also on the picture.

The only member of the Markle family to have been included in the picture
was his mother. The rest of his family has created a lot of drama for the
royals and it is quite understandable that they were left out.

Did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reveal Archie's godfathers?

In addition to the photos, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have revealed
that Archie's godfathers appear in the group picture. The couple does not have
reveal who the godparents are, but the photo clearly reduces the list
potential parents.

In addition to Charles, Parker Bowles, William, Middleton and Ragland, the photo includes the sisters of Princess Diana, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not comment on the rumors
surrounding Archie's baptism. The royal family issued a statement
after the ceremony, thanking the fans for their continued support of the new
Parents.
