Harry proved how close his bond with his late mother was in ensuring that Diana's sisters had a special place in Archie's official baptismal pictures.

Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes were between the mother of Meghan, Doria Ragland and Prince William, on the family photo.

Diana's sisters were seen beaming proudly as they stood right behind Meghan in the photograph taken by photographer Chris Allerton.

The decision to include the couple is a strong statement as they were not featured in the christening photos of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

But this decision is likely to be a surprise for the inside of the royal circle.

According to The Telegraph, Princess Diana's older sister, Lady Jane Fellowes, was one of the first people to visit Harry and Meghan after Archie's birth on May 6.

She met Archie even before the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Harry's aunts, along with his maternal uncle, were also named in the initial announcement of the birth of Buckingham Palace.

It reads: "The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer have been informed and are delighted with the news . "

Meghan and Harry also remembered Diana in a meaningful way while celebrating their baby.

Royal fans with eagle eyes may have recognized the green chair on which the couple were sitting while they were posing for the family group photo.

It's because it's the same royal seat that Diana and Queen have seated in the official photos of Harry's baptism.

It was also suggested that Kate Middleton paid special tribute to her late mother-in-law at the baptism.

The Duchess of Cambridge would have worn Princess Diana's beaded earrings at Collingwood.

So correct, it was the same pearl earrings that Diana wore at Prince Harry's baptism in 1984.

Kate looked elegant in a Stella McCartney dress going up to the knee, going up to the knee, with details on the bottom of the rainbow and a red headband.

Her husband, Prince William, joined her on the occasion of the happy family ceremony, during which the young royal was baptized in the private chapel of Windsor Castle.

Archie, eight years old, was baptized by the Archbishop of Canterbury in front of a small group of only 25 friends and family members.

A black and white photo shows the baby boy cradled in the arms of 37-year-old mother Meghan, while exhausting dad, Harry, 34, puts his arm around the pair.

A second color photograph shows the new parents posing with Prince Charles and Camilla, Diana's two sisters, Meghan's mom, Doria Ragland, and Prince William and Kate.

Sharing the two adorable clichés, the palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of Susbad are delighted to share the happiness of this day and thank all participants around the world for their continued support.

"They feel so lucky to have enjoyed this special moment with Archie's family and godfathers."

The photographs were taken by Chris Allerton in the Green Drawing Room – where Meghan and Harry posed for their official royal wedding clichés – and in the Rose Garden at Windsor Castle.

Mr. Allerton said, "I am honored to take the official photos at the Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor baptism and once again participate in such a special and joyous occasion for the Duke and Duchess of Susbad. "

Members of St. George's Chapel Choir performed at the ceremony while Seventh Row was baptized in a spectacular £ 11,000 Lily Font with water from the Jordan River and christened in the same royal dress as were wearing Kate Middleton's children.

Prince Harry's beloved nanny in her childhood, Tiggy Legge Bourke, was also part of the intimate guests, suggesting that she could also be the godmother of the newborn.

Tiggy became close to Harry as he grew up, having been employed by his father after the separation of the future king and Princess Diana.

And the former teacher – who had once called Harry and William "my babies" – could now be closer to the royals than ever before.

The Queen and Prince Philip were absent from the ceremony, as they had already planned to spend the week together in Sandringham after the annual Holyrood week in Scotland.
