The royal family didn’t attend the christening of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter, Lilibet, this month. But two of Princess Diana’s sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, were present at the ceremony, The Mirror reported. The two were present at the small ceremony with 20 to 30 guests. The christening took place at the Sussex home in Montecito.
It was not clear why the royal family was not in attendance, but reports suggested that family discord may have been the reason for their absence. Reports say Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland was in attendance.
Since Princess Diana’s death in 1997, the outlet reported that “both Harry and William have remained close to their mother, along with their aunt and uncle”. Princess Diana had four siblings—two older sisters and a younger brother, Earl Charles Spencer.
Lady Jane Fellowes was also present at Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018 and gave an emotional reading from Song of Solomon at the ceremony. Lady Jane and Lady Sarah often represent their late sister and the Spencer side of the family at major events.
Prince Harry was last seen in 2021 with his two aunts. Then, she and Prince William unveiled a statue of Princess Diana at Kensington Palace, her longtime home.
