Title: Controversy Surrounds Lilibet’s Private Royal Christening

The Rt Reverend John Harvey Taylor, the Bishop of Los Angeles, recently conducted the private baptism of the Sussexes' 21-month-old daughter at their Montecito residence in California.

Although the Bishop has shared details of Lilibet's baptism on his website, no photographs of the christening have been released.

The delay in her christening can be attributed to ongoing discussions and disagreements that have persisted since Lilibet's birth, resulting in her remaining unchristened for nearly two years.

Having faced rejection, whether during their visit for the Jubilee or more recently, the Sussexes decided to proceed with a royal-style christening of their own, opting for a bishop instead of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

This choice meant forgoing the usual practice of having an ordinary priest in a local church near their home, with a celebrity godfather replacing a member of the royal family.

It is important to note that while they did not obtain everything they desired, their intention was to replicate what Archie, their firstborn, received when they were still active members of the royal family.

The bishop who performed the christening, John Taylor, has been in his position since 2004.

Prior to his religious role, he served as the post-presidential chief of staff for Richard Nixon, a figure known for his dishonesty and widely regarded as the second-worst president in US history.

The symbolic significance of having one liar's former staff christen the child of two other individuals often accused of dishonesty aligns with the overall narrative surrounding the event.

Despite having had two years to arrange the christening, the announcement was made just two months before the coronation, giving the impression of desperation.

While there was no rush initially, the approaching deadline has left them empty-handed.

Furthermore, Harry and Meghan, who claim to despise and blame the institution of monarchy for their own shortcomings, now insist on asserting their children's birthright.

However, it remains unclear what exactly the children will be prince and princess of, as they have no official status in the US and lack any dominion over anything.

Jan Moir, a royal commentator and expert from the Daily Mail, recently criticized Harry and Meghan for accepting the title of Princess for Lilibet after months of condemning the Windsors.

Moir finds it astonishing that the couple, who seemingly detest the concept of monarchy, would embrace such a title.

She questions whether there is some mistake in bestowing this designation upon the child, while also expressing curiosity about the contradictory actions and intentions of her parents.

Since relocating to America in 2020 to escape the perceived hardships of royal life, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have consistently displayed a disdain for the monarchy.

They have labeled it racist, indefensible as a historical construct, and a failure in terms of family life.

Meghan even revealed contemplating suicide during her time within the institution.

Given their strong criticisms, one might expect them to distance themselves from the Windsors and their alleged immoral behavior.

However, their recent actions suggest otherwise.

In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Lilibet's private royal christening continues to unfold.

With no photographs of the event, limited acknowledgment from other members of the royal family, and a discreet update to the line of succession website, the Sussexes' decision to keep the ceremony low-key raises questions.

As the saga unfolds, it remains to be seen how significant this christening and their insistence on titles will be when compared to the impending changes within the monarchy.
